Janet Louise (Rolewitz) Campero, a beacon of laughter, courage, and eternal optimism, took her final curtain call on April 17, 2024. Born on December 16, 1944, in Munhall, PA, Janet’s zest for life and infectious humor brightened the world for nearly eight decades. A proud graduate of the Western Pennsylvania School for the Deaf, Janet’s indomitable spirit shone through her actions, kindness, and boundless sense of humor. She passed away in Austin, TX, leaving behind a legacy of joy and countless cherished memories.

Janet’s family was the cornerstone of her life. She was a cherished sister to Dolores Seech (deceased), Louise Nethen, and Ben Rolewitz. Her legacy continued through her devoted children, Jennifer Campero and Lawrence Campero Jr., and her role as the world’s coolest grandmother to Phil Campero Brual and Dante Campero-Campion. She also leaves behind a special place in the heart of her daughter-in-law, Wilmonda McDevitt, who was more like a second daughter to her.

Janet’s courage knew no bounds. She was as carefree as a bird in the sky – which she literally became when she went skydiving. Her curiosity was as boundless as her courage, leading her to try new things and embrace every moment with open arms. Janet’s optimistic outlook was contagious, and she had the ability to light up a room with her presence.

So here’s to Janet Louise Campero, a woman who taught us all that life is too short not to laugh, love, and indulge in the occasional free sample. Her unexpected departure may have come too soon; her absence will be felt deeply, but the echoes of her laughter will continue to inspire smiles and joy in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her. As we bid farewell to Janet, let’s honor her memory by embracing life with the same zest and zeal that she did.

Janet had a natural rapport with animals, becoming the preferred caregiver for family and friends’ pets. Her knack for babysitting extended to both grandchildren and pets, who instinctively adored her. Dogs eagerly wagged their tails around her, as she was the go-to pet sitter, attracting animals as if she were a walking treat dispenser. Her special touch resonated not only with her own pets but with any furry companions she cared for.

Janet was renowned for her shopping prowess, her love for trying new things, and her knack for finding the best food samples. Her shopping cart was her chariot as she navigated the aisles with regal grace. Janet’s approach to life was simple: be friendly, funny, and optimistic, making sure not to waste a day without laughter. Her vibrant presence served as a constant reminder to embrace life to the fullest.

So here’s to Janet Louise Campero, a woman who taught us all that life is too short not to laugh, love, and indulge in the occasional free sample. Her unexpected departure may have come too soon; her absence will be felt deeply, but the echoes of her laughter will continue to inspire smiles and joy in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her. As we bid farewell to Janet, let’s honor her memory by embracing life with the same zest and zeal that she did.
