We are saddened to learn of the passing of Janet Faucett earlier this week. Her husband, Harry founded the Canfield Community band and Janet served as the band's music librarian for many years. We are grateful for Janet's immeasruable contribution to the band since its founding and we join her family in remembering her today.

The family has asked that those wishing to pay tribute to Janet make contributions to the community band in her memory. To contribute to the band, please use our donation form and include a note in the comments that your contribution is being made in memory of Janet Faucett. Please note that our website is not equipped to process payment, but after completing the form, you will receive instructions to mail your donation to our treasurer.

Services are being held this afternoon at Lane Funeral Home, Canfield Chapel. More information is available from Lane Funeral Homes.
