After a life well lived, Janet Meyer (Hutchison), 92, born May 19, 1933, peacefully went home to be with the Lord surrounded by her family on August 30, 2025. She is preceded in death by her devoted husband of 58 years, Richard Meyer, as well as her brothers Gene and Glenn Hutchison. She is survived by her sister Patricia Segerlund, daughter Sheila Chapman, grandchildren Jessica and Matthew (Roberta) Chapman, and many nieces and nephews.

From a young age, Janet lived her life devoted to taking care of her family and serving God, a faith that sustained her for 92 years. Her family will forever remember her tireless, selfless love and support. She also especially enjoyed cooking, traveling, and shopping. A lifelong resident of Akron, she loved telling stories of her childhood growing up in a household of four children during the Great Depression.

Janet’s family wishes to thank Angel Delong for her wonderful care, also the caregivers from Crossroads Hospice.
