Janet Ruth Thompson

Janet Ruth Thompson, 87, of Danville, left this life peacefully on Sunday, February 1, 2026 with family at her side at The Villages of Avon. She was born January 21, 1939 in Richmond, Indiana to the late Russell Booher and Francis (Bowlan) Bretti.

Janet was a devoted homemaker whose nurturing spirit created a warm and welcoming home for her family. She married the love of her life, Glenn Thompson, on May 8, 1964. He preceded her in passing on December 26, 2024.
