Janet K Beal, 76 years old currently of Woodbury, Minnesota peacefully passed away on January 24, 2022. Born July 23, 1945 in Howell, Michigan to Howard and Ruth Pyles.  Janet was preceded in death by her parents and sister Marianne.  She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Richard Beal; her children Jonathan Beal and wife Julie and their three daughters, Kerstin Turner and husband TJ and their two children, Jim Kindel and wife Cathy and their 3 children; brother Jim Pyle and wife Cindy along with their two children and grandchildren; nephews Todd Beren and wife Tracy; Jerry Beren and wife Cynthia.

Janet loved her family more than anything and her pride in their accomplishments was paramount in her life. She also helped shape the lives of many family friends, neighbors, students and teammates of her kids. Her kitchen table was a safe place for anyone who needed to talk, cry or eat. She made everyone feel welcome and loved. Everyone was special to her, even their pets. She would send care packages to family members even with treats for their pets. She loved to love, and was incredibly good at it. She was the best Mom in the world to us and so many others!

Janet had two rescue dogs she adored. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Carolina Poodle Rescue in her memory. Information can be found at: carolinapoodlerescue.org
