Obituary of Janet Lynn Griffith

A much-loved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, Janet Lynn Griffith, age 70, passed away on January 13, 2023, at St. Elizabeth Hospital Edgewood. She was surrounded by her family. Janet was the beloved wife of Joel Griffith, who loved and adored her endlessly. They were blessed by their forty-one years together. They have four children, Stacy Wehsollek, Brian Griffith, Grant Griffith, and Garrett Griffith (Mary). They have seven grandsons: Michael Graham, Christian Wehsollek, Braidan Griffith, Tristan Griffith, Lane Griffith, Landon Griffith, and Oliver Griffith, as well as two great granddaughters Scarlett, and Opal Jo Graham.

Janet was the daughter of the late Jack and Norma Stull. She was born in Erie County Pennsylvania and has lived in Grant County Kentucky for forty years. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, son Grant Griffith, grandson Tristan Griffith, and sister Debbie Stull. In addition to her children and grandchildren, Janet is survived by two brothers Wesley (Deborah) and Brian Stull (Peggy), her father’s wife of 24 years Lenora Stull, and many nieces and nephews.

She was a life-long Christian and a member of the Dry Ridge Christian Church. While her family was always of the utmost importance to her, she was an independent and hard-working woman. She was the owner of “The Country Store” in Mt. Zion which she successfully operated for ten years, as well as a pre-school teacher where the students loved “Miss Janet.” She was loved and respected by her co-workers and blessed by many close friends
