Our hearts are broken to announce the unexpected sudden passing of Janet Mary Cooney (nee Milosek), at home, in the early morning of Friday 16th February, 2024. Loving wife, of 58 years, to Paul Cooney, Almonte, who was born and raised in Ottawa. Cherished Mom to Linda (Kevin MacWilliams) of Petawawa and Kevin (Jennifer, nee Clement) of Almonte. Devoted Nan to 5 beautiful grandchildren, Kelsey Cooney (Matt Tanzola), Harrison Cooney, Kade MacWilliams, Samantha Cooney, and Danika MacWilliams. Born 15th May 1943, in Renfrew, ON to Joseph Walter Milosek of Poland and Lucy Nadobny of Renfrew.

Janet was hard working, and trained at the Lorraine School of Nursing, Pembroke, ON, graduating as a RN in 1964 of a class of 14 nursing sisters. On the 18th September, 1965 she married her soulmate Paul, in Renfrew. They have resided in Almonte ever since. Jan enjoyed spending time with family, traveling, and camping.
