Janet A. Douglas, age 74, and a longtime Silver Lake resident, passed away quietly on Monday, Oct. 5, 2020, in Syracuse at Miller’s Merry Manor.

Born on Jan. 25, 1946, in New Washington, Ohio, Janet was the daughter of Clyde Hiler and Anna Karl Hiler. She attended school in New Washington at Buckeye Central High School and was married to the late Mark Douglas on Dec. 23, 1968.

A kind, caring person with a servant’s heart, Janet had worked in nursing home care while in Ohio. Locally, she worked for Warsaw Community Schools administration, though her primary focus was on her family. She was a loving, kind-hearted woman with a strong faith in Christ and was a longtime parishioner at Saint Robert Bellarmine Church in North Manchester. She liked to garden, caring for both flowers and vegetables and is remembered for her cooking; true to form, she always made sure others were fed.

Lovingly remembered by her family, a list of survivors includes son, David (Star) Douglas, of Syracuse; daughter, Jodi Pruitt, of Silver Lake; four grandchildren: Timothy, Jacinda, Paige and Courtney; 11 great-grandchildren; and three step-grandchildren. Also surviving are four brothers: Carl, Bobby, Jeri and Louis Hiler; and two sisters: Fay Rothhaar and Lucy Hay.

Those who preceded Janet in passing include her husband, Mark Douglas; and brother, Jimmy Hiler.

Titus Funeral Home of Warsaw has been trusted with Janet’s funeral care.

Services will be scheduled later in Ohio with burial in Nevada Cemetery.

Memorial gifts may be directed to St. Robert’s Catholic Church, 1203 IN-Hwy 114, North Manchester, IN 46962, while written condolences may be left at www.TitusFuneralHome.com.
