Meyer, Janet Mae (Janet Luther Meyer) Age 91, of Sarasota, FL passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 24th. Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Preceded in death by her husband Edward Joseph Meyer, parents William and Irene Luther, and siblings Sister Irene Luther, Kay Dossman, William Luther Jr., Richard Luther, and Robert Luther.

Janet graduated from Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, MI and then attended the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, OH. After her sophomore year, Janet married her sweetheart Edward Meyer and they started their family in Cincinnati, OH. They were true partners as Janet helped Ed achieve his business success which included rising from a package car driver to a District Manager at United Parcel Service while she took the lead in raising the couple's seven children. Their journey with UPS took them from Ohio, to Illinois, to Minnesota, and back to Ohio. They then enjoyed 27 years in retirement together which included stops in Minnesota, their beloved family lake home at Hubbard Lake, MI, and finally settling down in the Sarasota, FL area. Janet found purpose and joy in spending time with her husband and family, worldwide traveling, reading, her many friendships and her love of art. The importance of education was a theme that Ed and Janet shared throughout their lives. She was particularly proud of the fact that all seven of her children and all 16 of her grandchildren earned college degrees. Ed and Janet established scholarship funds at Roger Bacon High School of Cincinnati, OH and through the Page Education Foundation in Minneapolis, MN. She also continued financial support of the Shrine Catholic High School and Mount St. Joseph University. Janet's family extends their heartfelt thanks to the caregivers and staff at Bay Village in Sarasota, FL for their compassionate care. Visitation will be held September 8th at 10:00 a.m. at Annunciation Catholic Church, 509 West 54th St., Minneapolis, MN. Funeral mass to follow at 11:00 a.m. Interment to follow at Lakewood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to the charity of your choice or to the Page Education Foundation in Minneapolis
