Janet Long

July 19, 1944 - February 18, 2017

Last Saturday evening, one of God’s special angels returned home… Janet Long, daughter of James R. and Alta B. Long, was born July 19, 1944 and peacefully passed away on February 18, 2017. Janet was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was a long time resident of Edgemont and graduated from Orem High School. She loved working in her parent’s yard planting flowers and being outside. She loved spending time doing puzzles, puzzle books, dominos and watching old western shows. She loved crafts and coloring and was a wonderful artist. She loved her nieces and nephews and was so excited every time there was a new baby born in the family. Her laugh and smiles brightened up any room. Janet is survived by two of her four siblings, Clinton (Kim) Long of Tucson, Arizona and Joyce (Greg) Sauter of Copperton, Utah and multiple nieces and nephews that simply adored her. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, Vaughn D Long and sister, Colleen Strong. The Family wishes to thank the staff at Heritage Place Assisted Living in Bountiful, Utah, where she spent the last 8 months, for their kind and loving care. A special thank you to a fellow Heritage Place resident, Robert Webster, for his kind friendship and thanks to her niece Wendy Switzer, who works at the facility. Graveside services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, February 24, 2017 at the Provo City Cemetery, 610 South State Street, Provo UT. Janet hated getting dressed up, so to honor her, we ask that all who attend come in casual attire. Condolences may be expressed at www.bergmortuary.com.
