Janet B. Scofield, beloved wife of Nelson S. Scofield and mother of son Scott Scofield and of course the family dog Nitro. Janet loved to read in her favorite spot with Nitro nearby when he wasn't chasing a bunny or squirrel. She enjoyed cooking and baking for friends and family. Most people who live by the beach would enjoy spending time there but for Janet her love was to be at work in her kitchen and or looking for new recipes. A good book was as near as the local library. Janet felt most comfortable at home with her family and friends. And now she is resting in her final home. Janet is survived by her beloved husband Nelson, her son Scott, Brother David Brown and wife Donna, nephew Michael D. Brown his wife Karrisa, two great nephews Maverick and Brody.
