Szafirowski, Janet Lynn (Cook)
Saginaw, Michigan
Our beloved mother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, Janet Lynn (Cook) Szafirowski, passed away suddenly in the early afternoon hours of Wednesday, March 2, 2022 at her residence in Saginaw, Michigan. Janet was born on October 27, 1948 in Saginaw, Michigan to the late Charles and Vivian (Alpin) Cook. Janet was a graduate of St. Andrew High School. On May 20, 1967 in Saginaw, Michigan Janet married the love of her life, Michael J. Szafirowski, and he preceded her in death on April 16, 2017. Janet worked in retail sales for numerous years at Michigan Bell, Jacobson’s, and Hudson’s Retail Stores. She finished her career working at Added Dimensions. Janet was a longtime member of St. Joseph Parish in Saginaw. She had many joys during her lifetime, but nothing brought her more joy than her family. Janet always looked forward to their yearly family trip together to Madeira Beach, Florida. An abundance of great family memories were created on those trips together. Janet will be missed dearly by all, and her memories will be cherished forever.
Left to cherish her memories are her two children, Jay Szafirowski and Marcie (Mark) McDowell; special great-nephew and caretaker, Jesse Cornejo; brother, John (Rynn) Cook; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Dennis Szafirowski, Kevin Szafirowski, Karen Warrington, and Kathy (Chris) Mauro; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. Janet is happily reunited with her husband, Michael J. Szafirowski; her parents, Charles and Vivian (Alpin) Cook; sister, Judy Dudek; niece, Sarah Cornejo; nephew, John Mauro; and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, John and Helen (Lasso) Szafirowski.
At the request of Janet and her family, cremation has taken place and no services will be held at this time. Those planning an expression of sympathy may wish to consider a memorial to “St. Joseph Parish”. Arrangements have been entrusted to The Snow Funeral Home, www.snowfuneralhome.net
