HIRAM — Janet Ann Gochie Vickery, 77, of Hiram passed away on Sunday, Feb. 26, 2017. In her last moments of life, she was surrounded by her loving husband, Arnold Vickery, her seven children, Cheryl, Arnold, Tom, Donald, Jeffrey, Penny and Robert, along with other special family members, at the Gosnell Memorial Hospice Home in Scarborough.

Born on April 8, 1939, she began her adventures under the caring eyes of her loving parents, James and Doris Gochie. She had four sisters and two brothers.

Janet was on this earth to grace us all with her presence for 28,449 days — we must speak in terms of days because each and every one is as precious as the next, for how we choose to spend those bits of time here with our loved ones defines us all.

Janet, also known as Jenny, was a caring, compassionate, and loving person. She was a devoted wife, mother to seven, grandmother to 10, and friend to many. This is how she lives on. This is how she is remembered. She is a core component of our lives and the future generations she will be a part of. She will be greatly missed.

Services will be held privately by the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to Chad E. Poitras Cremation and Funeral Service, Buxton. Online condolence messages can be posted at: www.mainefuneral.com
