I currently work with special needs residents in Pa.. I am grateful for the spiritual influence when I was studying to be a pastor. She will not be forgotten.

We will never forget her kindness & support that she gave to my granddaughter while at Whitman-Hanson High School. With our deepest sympathy & our thoughts & prayers will be with you all.

Dave, I’m so sad to hear of the passing of your mom. Stay strong. Praying for you.

Janet was a fabulous student of mine at Massasoit Community College. She cared about everyone in the class and went out of her way to make everyone's life better.

I met Jan and Al, many years ago when I moved to Whitman. I would, occasionally bump into Jan, around town; and had the pleasure of working with Jan on the Cultural Committee, and sharing beautiful evenings at the concerts in the park. Wherever and whenever I saw her, Jan was personable and a positive ray of sunshine - always with a beautiful smile and sincerity. I've met several of her students whose lives were permanently and positively effected by her loving dedication to her students. Condolences to the family, Rest in Peace, Jan.

When I was a young child and Jan and Al were living upstairs in my parent's house, Janet announced she was giving up the church denomination she'd been raised in and was converting, in complete faith, to her husband's church. I remember a number of people being shocked by her announcement and, Janet always ready with a laugh and good-natured joking, many felt she was just being nutty. That it would never last. But she went through with it-- even renewing her wedding vows in grand style-- and she grew in faith over the years. It became her salvation, for real, and extended outwards to her community. Really, it was-- and still is-- quite inspirational what she did. She personified sacred words and truths that one can be reborn at any time in their life. She was an old old friend, and she will be missed. Much sympathy and love now sent to her surviving family. Karen Dow

Condolences to the family of this beautiful woman.. inside and out. I worked with Jan in Holbrook and she worked with my daughter at WHRHS. She was always positive and left a smile on your face. She made a difference in so many lives.

I just wanted to share my condolences for Mrs Horkey. She truly will be missed. Sending prayers to your family.

So sorry to hear of Jan's passing. I was one of her next door neighbors for the past 7+ years. She was always smiling and a wonderful neighbor. My deepest sympathies to Dave and her entire family.

She changed my life and I wouldn't be where I am without her. My best wishes with the family. She will be dearly missed by everyone she touched.

Our sincerest condolences to Debbie, David and the remaining family members. Janet always had a beautiful smile. She was caring and giving and I feel privileged to have known and worked with Janet and her late husband Al. May she Rest In Peace.

Jane and I started teaching at Whitman-Hanson around the same time. We would constantly throw sarcastic comments at each other, just to make us smile and forget the current stressors. The meaning for life is to give life meaning and Jane gave life meaning everyday. My dearest condolences to the family.

I remember Jan fondly from the Baptist Church. She was a very loving and caring person. Prayers and sympathy to her family.

Sorry for your loss. I worked with Al and Jan at Whitman Hanson. They were wonderful people to work with.

I remember Janet when I worked at Whitman-Hanson. She was a very caring and dedicated teacher. She will be missed. My condolences to the Horkey family.

Mrs. Horkey, the legacy that you have left behind at Whitman High school is one that will never be forgotten. Thank you for your many years of dedication and hard work to ensure that your students had the best education they could get. May you truly rest in eternal peace forever.
