Janice Marie (Zaborac) Tegtmeyer

Janice Marie (Zaborac) Tegtmeyer, 66, passed away at her home in Kent on January 10, 2013 surrounded by family members and her cats. She suffered from serious lung issues for over 20 years. Born on July 5, 1946 in Illinois, Janice lived almost all her life in Seattle and Kent. She went to Holy Rosary Grade School, Holy Family Grade School, Holy Rosary High School, and West Seattle High School. Most of her work years were in the service industry including working at King’s Beef Broiler, Clark’s Round the Clock, American Legion, Kent Bowl and lastly as a parking garage attendant at SeaTac Airport. Janice was a very kind person. She would give you her last dime and oftentimes did. She made friends with everyone. She was funny, even outrageous at times. She had a child-like perception of the world, finding humor in situations where others may have been stressed out. She loved her family and her cats. Janice was a key person in our family and will be sorely missed. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. She is survived by her parents Zab Zaborac and Rosella; son Robert Tegtmeyer; granddaughter Jessica Tegtmeyer; siblings Sharon Dalrymple (Al), Dennis Zaborac (Mirei), Larry Zaborac (Cathie), and Monica Zaborac; niece and nephews David and Steven (Sarah) Dalrymple and Nathaniel and Andrea Zaborac; grandnephew Austin Dalrymple; grandniece Allison Dalrymple; and her four cats Sylvia, Socks, Tiger and Whiskey.Celebration of Life is Saturday, January 19, 2013 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. at the Kent American Legion, 25405 97th Place South, Kent.
