Obituary of Janet Alice Riseley

Janet Alice Riseley was born October 18, 1938, in Huxley, Alberta. She was the fourth oldest daughter of Jesse and Walter Chapman, born eighth in line of a total of ten children.

Her early years were spent growing up in Rossland, B.C. and going to school until Grade 9. She helped her family by cooking, cleaning, and household chores. She skated for recreation and attended Church and Sunday School. Babysitting and cleaning house for a local retailer earned her pocket money.

Sadly, Janet quietly passed away on February 25, 2024, at the Provost Health Centre-Long Term Care, at the age of 85 years.
