Washa, Janet E. MADISON - Janet E. Washa, age 92, passed away
on Friday, Aug. 27, 2004, at Harbor House Assisted Living. She
was born on Sept. 22, 1911, the daughter of Harry and Evelyn
Brown. Janet attended high school in Milwaukee, and later
earned a bachelor's degree in art education at UW-Madison.
Janet married George Washa on June 23, 1934, in Milwaukee.
George became a professor and head of the engineering
mechanics department at UW-Madison. Janet was active in
university life and president of the UW Women's League and on
the Methodist Hospital planning board. In the manner of the
1950s, Janet led a life of devotion to the family. In 1941,
the family moved to Shorewood Hills. Their lives became
forever defined by the warmth and family-like atmosphere of
that wonderful village. Janet out-lived most of her university
and Shorewood Hills friends, but not their memories. Square
dancing, bridge, financial clubs, church and university
functions filled her life. Was her life quite average?
Perhaps, but to her husband, her sons, her relatives and
friends, she was simply the best. Janet is survived by her
three sons, Larry (Jane) Washa of Fountain Valley, Calif.,
Craig (Polly) Washa of Marshfield, Mass., and Jon Washa and
Winnie Baker of Madison; six grandchildren; five great-
grandchildren; and Fred (Mary) Washa of Muskego. She was
preceded in death by her husband, George Washa; and her
sister, Dorothy Jones. A private family service will be held
on Thursday, Sept. 2, 2004. Memorials can be made to the
University of Wisconsin Foundation. Cress Funeral & Cremation
Service 6021 University Ave. (608) 238-8406
