WERELEY,
Janet
Adele (née
CHALMERS)
Figure-skating fan, friend, teacher, mother. Born October 25,
1956, in Montreal. Died March 8 in Brockville, Ontario, of breast
cancer, aged 50
By Jennifer
CHALMERS
Janet lived her life as Mary Poppins did: by taking a spoonful
of sugar with her medicine. Three things got Janet through her
illness: shopping, food and figure skating.
Janet was born and raised in Montreal, where the Chalmers family
was known for its "J" names: parents Jessie and James, brothers
Jeffrey and Jamie, myself, Jennifer, and Joey the cat.
Janet excelled in music; she played the piano and the trumpet,
and sang in choirs. She canoed with the Girl Guides on the Saskatchewan
River, and was a leader on trips to Bermuda and Sydney. She went
to Austria with the choir and did the Sound of Music Tour - Janet
had a thing for Julie Andrews.
Summers were spent in Maine, a hot spot for Quebeckers. The Maine-New
Hampshire outlet-store corridor was Janet's prime shopping area.
She attended Queen's University, where she graduated with a bachelor
of music and education. Janet taught music to elementary students
and got her first job in Brockville; she spent the next 23 years
in the classroom. She married, had two sons and settled into
small-town living. Janet returned to Montreal to shop and buy
local delicacies.
Her biggest passion was figure skating. Janet was a figure skater,
but most enjoyed being a spectator. My sister and I had a figure-skating
relationship, and would always talk first about the skating.
After Janet's diagnosis in 2002, we both knew that no treatments
would spare her; Janet was going to make the best of the time
she had left.
We attended Skate Canada in Victoria, despite her failing health.
We talked during those days in the arena: of her illness, her
sons, and all the worries that go with the end of one's life.
She enjoyed every minute of the event.
In January, Janet went to the Canadian Championships in Halifax.
Two weeks later, she entered the hospital for the last time.
I (along with others) spent the last 10 days of my sister's life
at her bedside, talking of skating, my new kitchen, the weather
and watching the sun rise on the St. Lawrence.
Janet had a surprise call in those last days: Don Jackson, the
1962 world figure-skating champion. Janet was sedated, but opened
her eyes when he spoke. I was touched by his speaking by cellphone
to a dying woman he had never met. Janet's "getaway Friends"
also paid her a visit that same day. My sister's life was filled
with Friendship.
Janet had a tortured soul that only few knew. It was wonderful
for those closest to her to see that soul released during her
last days; from a place of prayer and peace, a new soul was born
that could soar freely without suffering.
Jennifer CHALMERS is Janet's sister.
