Janet W. Pepper, 81, of LeRoy, PA, went home to her Lord and Savior, Wednesday November 27, 2019 while surrounded by her loving family at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. Janet was born February 13, 1938 in Wheelerville, PA to the late Gordon and Wanda (Fuller) Morgan. She was the youngest of five children and had a deep love for her siblings. She attended Canton High School where she met the love of her life, Thomas C. Pepper. They were married by Pastor Paul Dale and together shared 65 years together. They had four children and felt blessed to raise them on the family farm.
She was a devoted wife and mother who always put the needs of her family first. She enjoyed taking care of her home and had a frugal and practical wisdom that blessed her family.
She had a special way with children and was blessed to be a grandmother. She lulled many of her dear grandchildren to sleep with her special little lullaby. Her greatest joy was making memories with them.
Her door was always open and so were her arms, you never left hungry or without a warm hug. She cherished family togetherness and her joy was evident when spending time with them. Her home was filled with lots of love and laughter.
She loved preserving family moments in photos and many happy times were captured by her keen eye. She put together beautiful scrapbooks and shared them with her children.
