Janie Laurella Leath left this world peacefully after a short illness on April 11, 2016, surrounded by the love of her family. A true native Boisean, Janie was born December 7, 1948 in Boise to Lloyd and Dorothy Shelton Leath.
Janie cherished her family and countless friends. She loved her garden and could sing as sweetly as the birds who flocked there. She could dance all night or work through the night with her headlamp. Janie loved her time at the family cabin, diligently keeping it in perfect shape for the generations to come. She fly fished off the dock, just as her parents and grandparents had decades earlier.
Janie was one of a we do mean kind. She would do anything for someone in need. Loved by everyone she touched and touched by everyone she knew, she would never burn a bridge. She was a true blue friend (her favorite color) through and through. Her house was always the place where friends gathered. She was a poet as were her mother and grandmother, writing poems on envelopes and any handy scrap of paper. There was never enough time for Janie to do all she wanted in this life or enough time for us to have her.
The family greatly appreciates Michelle and Yoli, extraordinary nurses.
Tall, beautiful, wonderful Janie will rest in our hearts forever.
