In Memoriam
Janet Santa
The Valley Community Foundation (VCF) joins the family and friends of Janet Santa in mourning her passing on March 17 at the age of 92. She lived a life filled with love, adventure, and service to her community. Whether cheering on her family, sailing the Caribbean, or brightening the days of those around her with a warm smile and kind words, Janet embodied the spirit of generosity and community. Her dedication to volunteerism in the Valley left a lasting impact. In honor of her life and legacy, the family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Norman K. and Janet N. Santa Fund at VCF, ensuring her spirit of giving continues for generations to come.
