Janet Fay Winship

Janet Chrisman Winship was born January 20, 1952. She passed away on August 21, 2021, at the age of 69.

Janet enjoyed gardening, camping, teaching her piano students, art, baking and the Iowa State Fair, where she was a blue ribbon winner. She had a smile for everyone she met and was a friend to all with her joy, kindness, compassion and sense of humor. Janet took great pride in her home.

She eschewed electronics but loved her acoustic piano. Three words to best describe Janet would be; smooth, funny and relaxed. Her husband Russ would say, “she came in my front door, and she never left”.

She is survived by her loving husband of 32 years, Russ Winship; sister, Joyce Fletcher; sister-in-law, Maryann Chrisman; and many nieces, nephews and extended family members.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Eva Chrisman; father, Hugh Chrisman; and brother, Robert Chrisman.

A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, August 28, 2021, at Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be directed to the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation in loving memory of Janet.
