Janet K. Redford
May 27, 1955 – February 15, 2025

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Janet Redford, age 69, of Gustine, California, who passed away peacefully on February 15, 2025 at Memorial Hospital, Modesto, California.
Born on May 27, 1955 in Durand, Michigan, Janet K. Redford was the daughter of Cass and Anne McCollum. At age 19 Janet made her way to California’s Central Coast (Monterey Bay) and lived there nearly 20 years before heading back to Michigan in her late 30’s.
The arrival of her first grandchild drew Janet back to California, where she spent her remaining years in California’s Central Valley and the Sierra Foothills. While she loved Gold Country, California’s Central Coast and Monterey Bay was a place Janet continued to frequently travel to throughout her life.
Another favorite pastime for Janet was enjoying the magic of Disneyland with family and friends. The “Happiest Place on Earth” held a special place in her heart.
Despite Janet’s love for California, she would often reminisce and share stories about the beauty of Michigan and the Upper Peninsula in particular. A piece of her heart would always remain with her friends and family back in her home state.
Janet held roles in finance and customer service for private companies and non-profit organizations. For the better part of two decades she worked for a prominent print shop in Central Michigan. Prior to her retirement Janet worked for both Goodwill Industries and Catholic Charities in California’s Central Valley.
Janet was a dear friend to many. She would always make herself available to help those around her who needed a helping hand. Whether it was a neighbor or a friend, people could count on Janet.
She will be missed by both friends and family.
Janet is survived by her son, daughter-in-law, daughter, four grandchildren and several cousins.
