Janet (Farmer) Tritle

Janet May Farmer was born on September 27, 1943, in Tacoma, WA, to Jess and Rosella Farmer. She was the second of six children who grew up and attended school in Cashmere, WA, after the family moved when she was very young. She loved growing up there in the 50’s and said it was the absolute best time and place for being a kid. After graduating from high school, she moved to Renton with a friend and worked for the phone company as an Information Operator. She also met the love of her life, Robert Tritle. They were married 3 months after they met, in December 1961. They moved to Omak, WA, where Bob was from, and had 3 children, Mike, Lisa, and Jeremy. Their adventures took them to Pullman, WA, where Bob graduated from WSU, and to Blanchard, ID, to farm. After their kids were all out of school, they joined New Tribes Mission and for the next 13 years dedicated their lives to bringing people to the Lord. Janet said it was the hardest thing she ever did, leaving her family, but it was very rewarding, and she cherished the friendships they made. After retiring, she took care of her dad until he passed and worked in a nursery where her love of flowers and plants became her favorite hobby. She absolutely loved her grandkids and great-grandkids. She could never spend too much time with them, and they adored her. She loved to go to their sporting events, dance recitals, school programs, and be there to support them in whatever they were doing. Janet is survived by her husband, Robert Tritle; son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Jeanne Tritle; daughter and son-in-law, Lisa and Ric Lake; son and daughter-in-law, Jeremy and Debbie Tritle; grandchildren Kyle Tritle and fiancée Skylar, Ali Trombetta and husband Mathew, and Jeremy Tritle; great-grandchildren Jada, Evan, Zach, Elias, Adelynn, Waylon, Ryder, Revin, Ella, Luca and Ava; her siblings Loretta Garrett, Gary Farmer and wife Carol, Dan Farmer and wife Carolyn, Linda Fleming and Sherrie Rash; sisters in law Mary Gordon, Peggy Gregory and husband Dave; and numerous extended family. She is pre-deceased by her parents, Jess and Rose Farmer; grandson, Joshua Floyd; and brothers-in-law Dean Tritle, Ernie Garrett, Bud Fleming and Harold Rash. Janet went to be with her Lord and Savior on May 9, 2026. Her family wishes to thank the many people involved in making her life comfortable and happy in the last few months. It was her greatest joy to be able to see and hear from so many of the people she loved. She was truly astonished that they would take time to be with her, and she loved all of you.
