Janet R. Collins, 83, of Annapolis, died from complications due to renal failure on December 2, 2012 at Atria Manresa, where she had been resident since July 4, 2012. Prior to that, she resided in Heritage Harbour.
Janet was born October 18, 1929 in Dobbs Ferry, NY to George and Agnes (Zeller) Petersen. Raised in Brooklyn and Flushing, New York, she later moved with her family to Belvidere, New Jersey, graduating from Belvidere High School in 1947.

Joseph and Janet began raising their family in Larchmont, NY, Darien, CT, Guilderland, NY, Freehold, NJ, and eventually settling to Severna Park, MD in 1975.
Janet was a devoted wife and mother, kept busy by raising five children and running a household. She loved to cook and engaging in fine crafts such as sewing, crocheting, macramé, cross stitch, and ceramics. Her family and friends considered it a prized gift to receive one of her artistic creations. In her later years, she relished excursions to play the slots and watch the Ravens latest contest.
