After a brave battle, It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of Janet Clara Ann (nee Duckworth) Sherratt on April 29, 2022. She is survived by her husband of 54 years Jim Sherratt. Loving mother of Judy (Scott Dezell), Jan (Steve Millian), Jim (Michelle McKitterick) and Joe (Tammy). Proud grandma of nine grandchildren: Alyssa Dezell, Morgan Dezell, Cody (Amber) Millian, Jessica (Alex) Millian, Kyle Millian, Ashton Sherratt, Wesley Sherratt, Avery Sherratt and Carter Sherratt and two great grandchildren Gabriel Khatib and Ellie Millian.
Predeceased by mother June Taylor and father Harold (Sam) Duckworth, mother and father in-law Leona and Jim Sherratt, brothers Rick (Carolyn), John and Paul Duckworth and sister Mary Duckworth. Survived by brothers Bill (Julie) and Pete Duckworth, sisters Carol (Pete) Vanderheyden and Pati Duckworth, and sisters-in-law Wilma Duckworth and Shirley Erb. Greatly missed by many Sherratt in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends.
Janet was especially proud of her children and grandchildren and their many accomplishments. She also dedicated over 25 years of service to the Huron Women’s Shelter. Those who knew her well will remember her love of flower gardening, especially caring for her roses. She also enjoyed spending time outside feeding and watching the many birds she attracted to her back yard.
There will be no funeral home visitation. A Graveside service will be held at St. Peter’s Cemetery, Saltford, Ontario on Tuesday May 3, 2022 at 11:00 a.m.. Friends and family welcome.

We were very saddened to hear of the death of Janet. Janet and Jim have been our neighbours for many years. Their son Joe was in school with our Lisa at St. Mary’s in Goderich. I remember Joey playing guns at our place many years ago as a young boy. Janet was always very quiet but a very friendly , cheerful neighbour. We often saw Jim and Janet our for walks together or driving by in the car.

Dear Jim & family,
I will miss seeing you & Janet out walking hand in hand in perfect step with one another — such a lovely couple.
I worked with Janet for many years at the Huron Women’s Shelter. She was quiet but oh so efficient behind the scenes as our office manager. She was equally adept at handling many other duties there as well. Her steadying hand was greatly missed when she retired.
May many happy memories of dear Janet give you all comfort at this difficult time.
Sincerely, Joanne
