Janet Frances Palese's Obituary
Janet F. Palese, age 70, of Wilmington, DE, formerly of Lewes, DE, passed away on Sunday, April 30, 2023. She was born on January 9, 1953, daughter of the late Andrew K. and Dorothy J. (McCormick) Palese in Wilmington, DE.
A native Delawarean, Janet was a graduate of Wilmington High School. Her love of the culinary arts led her to pursue a career as a chef. During the course of her career, she prepared thousands of delicious dishes working in several Wilmington establishments. She enjoyed what she did and was always fine-tuning her skills in the kitchen. Janet enjoyed being social in her community and was a lifetime member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Atterbury VFW Post 3420 in Newark, DE. Upon retirement, Janet felt drawn to the beaches of Southern Delaware and she made her home in Lewes. Above all, the time spent with those she held dear was what Janet cherished most. She was a loving and devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, who will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Janet was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Marcia Crouchelli. She is survived by her brothers, Andrew Palese (Kathy) of Dagsboro, DE, and Robert Palese of Newark and her sister, Gayle T. Dupras of Lewes, DE.
