Janet L. Graham of Pocantico Hills passed away peacefully on June 9, 2023. Janet was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and attended Erasmus Hall High School. After relocating to Westchester and marrying her husband, Bill, they moved to Pocantico Hills where they raised their family and remained the rest of their lives. Janet had a career at the Pocantico Hills Central School and upon retirement, assumed the position of secretary at the Union Church of Pocantico Hills where she continued working well into her seventies.
Janet was a very kind and caring person who always quickly offered help to friends in need. She loved traveling with Bill, and vacationing with her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. Janet enjoyed welcoming people in her home, especially family gatherings and her annual celebration with friends before Christmas Eve service. She was a long-time member of the Union Church of Pocantico Hills where she served as a Deacon, church secretary and member of several organizations/committees within the congregation.
Janet Graham is survived by her daughter Caroline (Johannes), son Bill (Gloria), grandchildren Sarah, Johannes and Erik, great-granddaughter Madison, sister Christine (John) and several cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her loving husband Bill (January 2023), mother and father (Lillian and Edmond) and brothers Edmond and Richard.
