Janet Fedell

Janet "Jan" Boyd Fedell, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2024, at the age of 89 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Born on August 15, 1935, in Wheatland, Wyoming, Jan was the beloved daughter of Neil and Fay Boyd and grew up immersed in the ranching culture of her family. Throughout her formative years, she lived in various towns including Cody, Lingle, Rock Springs, Rawlins, and ultimately settled in Laramie, Wyoming. Jan graduated from Laramie High School in 1953, where her passion for music blossomed. She was known for her beautiful voice, actively participating in glee club and choir, and also embraced her involvement in Job's Daughters.

In 1958, Jan found love with Bob Fedell while he was attending the University of Wyoming. The couple married and welcomed their son, Eric, during their time living in Colorado. They eventually moved back to Laramie, where Jan proudly and "loudly" supported Eric, cheering him on from the stands at his sporting events.  As season ticket holders, Jan's rendition of the national anthem at Wyoming football games became a cherished tradition that many will remember fondly.

Jan's interests extended beyond her family; she was a vibrant member of her community who enjoyed playing golf, participating in bridge games, and even bowling. After Eric completed his schooling, Jan and Bob embarked on an adventurous chapter of their lives, spending seven years at Subic Bay, Philippines, and three years in Japan while Bob taught in the Department of Defense schools. During these years abroad, Jan dedicated her time to volunteering which included a local orphanage, further demonstrating her compassionate spirit. Her love for travel and golf enhanced their rich experiences overseas.

Jan is survived by her loving son Eric (Judy), grandchildren Bryan, Ashlyn (Brett), Kelli (Ryan), and six great-grandchildren. She is also remembered by her sisters, Gail (Frank) and Barbara.

Jan was preceded in death by her husband, Bob, who passed away just a month prior. As they reunite, their shared memories and love will continue to resonate within the hearts of all who knew them. Jan leaves behind a legacy of kindness, music, and unwavering support for her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
