Janet Frances McClintock

Janet Frances McClintock, aged 82, of Citrus Heights, CA, passed away on August 28, 2024, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous battle with mesothelioma. 

Born on November 14, 1941, to Alvin and Frances Gerhardt in Sheep Ranch, CA, Janet spent her formative years in Globe, AZ. She cherished her time growing up with her older brother, Ralph, and graduated from Globe High School in 1959.

Janet met her beloved husband, Bill, through her dear friend Judy Fields in Long Beach, CA and she married Bill in 1961. This introduced her to a vibrant life full of love and hard work as she began a rewarding 30-year career at Pacific Bell. 

In her early 50s, Janet returned to school and earned her bachelor's degree from the University of San Francisco. She then transitioned into a fulfilling role as an engineer at what is now AT&T, leaving a lasting impact on her colleagues and the industry.

In 2004, Janet retired, fully dedicating her life to friends and family. She was a steadfast source of love and support for her husband, Bill, her three children—Glen McClintock, Cindy Traylor, and Robert McClintock—and their families. Her greatest joy came from her three grandchildren: Ryan Traylor, Todd Jr. Traylor, and Emma McClintock, to whom she devoted endless affection and encouragement.

Janet will be fondly remembered by her extended work family, church community, and countless friends. Those who knew her were touched by her warmth, generosity, and kindness.

A memorial and celebration of Janet's life will take place at Sunrise Community Church, located at 8321 Greenback Lane, Fair Oaks, CA 95628, on Thursday, September 12th at 1:00 PM. All who knew and loved Janet are invited to join in honoring her remarkable life and the love she shared with all.
