Janet M Grimstad age 77 of Sebastian Florida passed away peacefully on January 2, 2020 at Palm Bay Hospital after a long illness with her family and friends by her side.  Born in 1942, she was the daughter of the late Frederick and Gwladys Cross, in Bournemouth England.  She was a proud British citizen until her final breath.

Janet was born in Bournemouth England during World War II and would often tell stories of being in the shelters during bombings and the struggles of the time.  She loved spending time as a child in Wales with her grandmother.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Roger Grimstad, her beloved son David Grimstad and brother Richard Cross.  She is survived by her daughter Tamara Grimstad, brother David Cross and nieces Tanya Cross and Shelley Cross.

She worked as a daycare provider in her home and was loved by the children she cared for.  Janet's favorite hobbies were shopping, crafts, chocolate and taking photos.  She was very creative and enjoyed working with her family and friends on various projects.  She loved camping and fishing with her family.  She often said she started fishing because she knew if she didn't she would never see her husband.  They spent the early years of their marriage taking their small children of many adventures.  Fishing and sleeping under the stars and appreciating life and all the world has to offer.  She will be missed by many whose life she has touched.

Private services will be held for her at a later date.
