Janette Lea Anderson

Janette Lea (Crow) Anderson, lovingly known as Jan, passed away on November 4, 2026, at the age of 74.

Jan was a loving mother, proud grandmother, and dear friend to so many. She leaves behind her husband of 47 years, Andy Anderson, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, memories, and adventures.

She is survived by her daughter, Anna Beth Andromalos-Dale (Dave), and her three beloved grandchildren, Demetrios, Damian, and Sophia; her son, Andrew Anderson; many nieces and nephews. Also her bonus family, Emily Hess, Jennifer and Damon Graham, Danielle Barnes Howes and family, Will Dudding and family. Best friends Karen Hanson and Kathy Lamb.

Jan was preceded in death by her mother, Gladys Crow; her father, Edward “Punk” Crow; many aunts, uncles, and cousins; and her childhood best friends, Kay Hess, Correl Smith & Karen Jarrell

If you knew Jan, you knew she was one of a kind. She was a dear friend to all, never afraid to give you a little crap or deliver a good old-fashioned mom lecture when you needed one. Whether you called her for five minutes or five hours, she was always there. She had a way of making people feel loved, even if that love came with a little sass and some honest advice.

Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she loved them fiercely. Some of her favorite things included playing cards, tackling countless DIY projects, and making special handmade creations, especially baby blankets. She had a giving heart and found joy in making things for the people she loved.

Jan was a lifelong Lutheran and one of the founding members of Abundant Life lutheran Church in Hilliard. She also held her real estate license and was a notary. Throughout her life, she built relationships, shared her talents, and made lasting memories with the people around her.

Jan leaves behind a lifetime of laughter, lessons, handmade treasures, and memories that will be cherished forever. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her love will continue to live on through her family and all those fortunate enough to have known her.

She may no longer be just a phone call away, but the lessons she taught, the laughter she shared, and the love she gave will never be forgotten.

A Celebration of Jan’s Life will be held on December 5 at Tidd Funeral Home in Plain City, Ohio.

Family and friends are invited to gather beginning at 12:00 p.m. to share stories, memories, laughter, and special moments celebrating Jan’s life. A service honoring Jan will follow at 1:00 p.m.

Please wear purple or Butterflies and join us as we come together to remember, celebrate, and honor a woman who touched so many lives.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio in Jan’s memory.

Until we meet again, Mom. We love you, and we will miss you more than words can ever say.
