Janet Houston, age 64, passed away peacefully on Jan. 20, 2026.

Born on June 27, 1961, in Centerville, Tenn., Janet lived a life defined by compassion, dedication and love. She most recently made her home in Wasilla, Alaska, where she was deeply rooted in her family and friends.

Janet devoted more than 30 years of her life to caring for others as a registered nurse. Her career was not just a profession, but a calling—one she carried out with skill, empathy and unwavering commitment to those in her care.

Above all else, Janet was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was the cherished wife of Ronald, a devoted mother to Olivia, Benjamin and Joseph, and a proud grandmother to Lucas and Corbin, who brought her immense joy.

Janet will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit and the deep love she had for her family. She found happiness in simple pleasures—spending time crafting, sewing and tending to her garden and flowers—activities that reflected her patience, creativity and nurturing nature.

Her kindness touched countless lives, and her presence will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Janet was preceded in death by her father, Franklin Plunkett.

She is survived by her mother, Amy (Bill) Flowers; siblings, Timmy Plunkett and April (Josh) Tidwell; her husband of 45 years, Ronald Houston; children, Olivia, Benjamin (Shannon) and Joseph; and grandchildren, Lucas and Corbin.
