• Notes

  Granite Baker, Janis Brighton: Loving mother, wife, grandmother, & friend, Janis passed away on Tuesday, September 26, 2017. She leaves behind beloved daughter & son-in-law Florence & Trey Stadler, son Steven Baker & dearest grandson, Aaron Stadler. She is predeceased by her first husband Carl Baker, second husband Guido Ruggiero, her parents Arthur and Florence Granite, and stepmother Esther Granite. Family was always at the center of Janis' life, and she loved fully. Janis will be missed by her brother & sister-in-law Drs. James & Betsy Granite, sister Elaine Cohen, sister-in-law Ruth Baker, cousin Harvey Granite, her many nephews & nieces, and longtime caring friends Gerri & Sandy Appelbaum, Eileen and Milt Jachles, Shirley Mink, Shirley Gordon, Reenie & Fran Levy, Samm Baker Olenik. Forgive us if we leave anyone out as Janis cared so much about the people in her life. Janis was born in 1931. Her mother died when Janis was young, thus she and her sister Elaine became, at an early age, "the Women of the House." Making and keeping a good home was a passion for Janis and she did it with artistry. She loved the music of Eydie Gormé, Michael Bublé, Tony Bennett, and other classic Italian-American crooners. Janis loved to sing and dance, and even in later years could still "cut a rug." However, the driving force in Janis' life was her children and grandson. No one could have had a more devoted mother and grandmother. She forever showered her strong love upon us. Janis looked at life through her own special lens, and no other person had that same lens. She was in every way "a character." It was said of Janis that time spent with her was a journey, not a destination. May her journey now bring her much deserved peace and rest. Our gratitude is expressed for the special care provided to Janis by her many doctors, particularly Dr. Lon Baratz; & for the warmth shown to her by the wonderful people at Heathwood Assisted Living. Above all the skill, dedication, & compassion given to Janis by everyone at the Jewish Home-3rd Floor West, & most recently, Hospice of Rochester was a great comfort to her family. Graveside services will be held on Friday, September 29th at 10 AM at Britton Road Cemetery. Please join the family for a small reception to follow from 12-3 PM at the Jewish Home of Rochester. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Jewish Senior Life in her memory. To leave a message of condolence, please visit: Published in Rochester Democrat And Chronicle from Sept. 28 to Sept. 29, 2017
