Janet Rose Williamson

Janet Rose Williamson, 85, of Pearland, Texas, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones, on March 21, 2026. Janet was born on March 25, 1940, in Holyoke, Colorado, to Herman and Dora Tatum. The family later moved to Ovid, Colorado, where at the age of 14 she met the love of her life, Robert Williamson. Their love began in their youth and grew stronger over the years. One of Janet's greatest joys and probably worries was supporting Bob during his college days as a bull rider. The two were then married on July 21, 1963, and began their life together in Hereford, Texas. After several moves along the way, Janet and Bob eventually settled in Sidney, Montana, where they raised their two daughters. Their children meant everything to them. Janet started her career as a teller at Stockman Bank in 1977 and retired after 28 years as Head Teller, where she was known for her dedication, warmth and friendly smile. When their daughters, Jana and Robin, later made their homes in Texas, Janet and Bob followed after retirement to be near family and to watch their grandchildren grow. Janet and Bob seized the opportunity to travel and explore the world after retirement, sharing these journeys with family and special friends. Janet was preceded in death by her parents, Herman and Dora Tatum, her sisters Judy Stone and Joyce Carr. She is survived by her beloved husband, Robert Williamson; her daughters, Jana (Richard) Guhl and their children Brandon (Sydney) Guhl, Katie (Alex) Boreman, and Kyra (Sterling Smith) Guhl; and Robin (James) Quinton and their children Emma Quinton and Karsten Quinton; as well as her sister, Jean (James) Engelker.

Janet was the image of courage and strength to those around her. As a breast cancer survivor, she did not let much slow her down. Janet found her greatest joys in time spent with her family and out on the golf course, she built lasting friendships and created cherished memories. Retiring on the golf course was a dream come true for Janet and Bob and she was very involved with the Women's Golf Association and served as president in 2012 and organized the 9-holers group. Anyone who knew Janet knew her for her famous sugar cookies, which she lovingly made and shared with friends and family. She was always happy to pass along her recipe, continuing a tradition of kindness and sharing.

Though she loved golfing, baking, and reading, Janet's most treasured role was that of grandmother. She delighted in every moment spent with her grandchildren, whether traveling through Europe together, celebrating their milestones, or simply sharing laughter and baking cookies. She never missed a chance to spoil them and took great pride in all they accomplished. Janet will be remembered for her kindness, her humor, and her unwavering love for her family. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a proud grandmother. We could not have asked for a better one, and she will be deeply missed every day. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

A funeral service will be held on Friday, March 27, 2026 at 10:00 am, at Epiphany Lutheran Church in Pearland, Texas. Visitation will be before and a luncheon to follow.
