Rosewood-Kellum FH March 2024
Janet Marie Stokley entered her heavenly home on March 26th, 2024. After a 
diagnosis of heart cancer in January, Janet chose to live out her final days 
surrounded by the love of family and friends. Strong in her faith, she never had 
fear and showed us all how the love of God and His Grace ensured a peaceful 
passing. She married the one love of her life, William M. Stokley, on 10-16-
1976, and shared 32 years of marriage before Billy’s passing in 2008. She is 
survived by her only daughter, Jillian M. Breitwieser (Karl), who was the “spice 
of her life” and loved her only grandchild and travel buddy, Marleigh R. 
Breitwieser. She is also survived by her mother, Dorothy Gantley, 96; her 
siblings, Michael Gantley, Dennis Gantley, Mary Gantley, and Patrick Gantley. 
She is predeceased by her brother, Timothy Gantley.
She was the founder and president of Surplus Electrical Innovations for 25 years 
before her well-deserved retirement. She spent her life in service of others, 
always giving of her time and support to many organizations close to her heart. 
She enjoyed travel and a good book, preferably by the pool in Florida. She had 
the biggest heart as shown by her lifelong generosity to others. It is only 
fitting that in the end, it was her heart that couldn’t give anymore.
