Janet M. Bruffy, age 82, passed away surrounded by her loving family on March 5, 2024, in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. She was born on November 20, 1941, in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Joseph and Helen (Kimmel) Havel. Janet was an identical mirror twin to her beloved sister Judy, her 'partner in crime'. Together they caused much havoc over the years. Janet was a loyal Cleveland Indians (Guardians) fan and supported them through thick and thin. She enjoyed bowling with her late husband and sewing. She was also a member of the Silver Sneakers. Janet was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and generous friend. She was the center of her family and was front and center for every special occasion. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Janet is survived by her loving children, Christina (Brian) Baad and Nicole Bruffy (Patrick Conley); eleven grandchildren, Preston, Alyssa, Miranda, Natalie, Joseph, Elijah, Micah, Asher, Niaha, Alexa, and Lauren; sister, Barbara Abeel; nephew, Eric (Darlene) Yoder; great nephews, Phoenix and Stone; along with a lifetime of collected friends.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 35 years, Madison "John" Bruffy, her parents, Joseph and Helen (Kimmel) Havel, and her beloved twin sister, Judy Yoder.
