Ann Janet Burns Of Susquehanna, PA   Ann Janet Burns (née Petroski) entered into eternal rest on September 27, 2015. She is survived by Robert J.

Janet was preceded in death by John and Helen Petroski (parents); Bette Zagunis (sister); and Jack Petroski (brother).   Janet was a dedicated employee of Barnes-Kasson SNF, working joyfully and tirelessly for over 35 years as an aide and a registered nurse; midway through her nursing career, Janet returned to college and graduated from the Nursing Program at Broome Community College in 1986. She brought laughter to many at work and at home with her quick wit and ebullient sense of humor. Janet was an avid reader and had a large collection of books and magazines; she would often give books to others to share her passion for the written word. She also loved animals and doted on Miah, her cherished Labrador retriever.   Visitation will be from 5:00pm to 8:00pm on Wednesday, September 30, at Hennessey Funeral Home, 747 Jackson Avenue, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. Rev. Robert Simon will preside over a Mass of Christian Burial at St. John the Evangelist Church, East Church Street, Susquehanna, Pennsylvania, at 10:00am on Thursday, October 1. In accordance with Janet’s wishes, the family has requested that well-wishers make a donation to Barnes-Kasson SNF in lieu of flowers.
