Janet Rooney Fuhrman's Obituary
Janet Rooney Fuhrman of Davidson, NC born September 5, 1929, passed peacefully on September 4, 2019, in the loving care and arms of her daughters.
Born to Frank and Catherine Rooney, in Rosedale, Queens, NY, she was the loving sister of her twin, Bernice Munzer, brother, Frank Rooney and sister, Marion King, both of whom are deceased.
Janet was a hardworking, successful secretary working in NYC in her earlier years, later becoming a thriving paralegal working with the same law firm for over 30 years.
Married to John W. Fuhrman, they created their home and family in Huntington and Lloyd Harbor, Long Island, NY. Together they raised six successful children;
John Fuhrman of CA, Diane Fuhrman of TN, Dr. Linda Jennings of VA, Joanne Barbour of NC, Patty Fuhrman of NY and Cathy Schrader of NC. Nine loving and cherished grandchildren followed.
Janet was a conqueror of crossword puzzles and a most competitive bridge player.
She was always proud to let you know when she “won “. Her friends and family were mindful, if tennis great Rafa Nadal had a match in play, she was not to be interrupted. #1 RAFA fan!!!
Janet was the most lovely of ladies who was beautiful inside and out. Those who had the opportunity to know her, quickly fell in love with her sweet and feisty personality. Her generational “lack of filter “would catch some off guard but quickly turn to laughter.
We love you Nana (aka Toots). You will be missed forever and beyond words.
Services will be planned at a later date.
James Funeral Home is serving the family and condolences may be sent to them through our website at www.jamesfuneralhomelkn.com.
