Janet L. Galpin

November 8, 1954 – May 16, 2025

Janet L. Galpin, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on May 16, 2025, at the age of 70.

Janet was the kind of person you don’t forget. She was the hardest worker you’d ever meet—reliable, determined, and tireless in everything she did. But more than that, she had a big heart. If someone needed help, Janet was there without hesitation.

She was also full of life and personality—a die-hard New York Yankees fan who wore her loyalty with pride, and a devoted lover of pigs, whose joyful collection reflected her playful spirit and sense of humor.

Janet is survived by her loving children: Jason O’Hara, Jessica Galpin, Rebecca Galpin, and Ryan Galpin. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Damian Ogonowski, Tela and Dax O’Hara, and Caliahna and August Mingle. She also leaves behind her cherished sister, Anita Koscielski, and her dear niece, Emily.

Those who knew Janet will remember her strength, her kindness, and the way she always put others before herself. Her love and presence will continue to live on in all the lives she touched.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to a pig sanctuary or farm of your choice, in honor of Janet’s love for animals and her generous spirit. One such organization is the Pig Placement Network, which rescues and rehomes pigs in need. Donations can be made at their website: www.pigplacementnetwork.org/help/donate.
