Janet Ditton

Janet M. Ditton, 77, of Fort Wayne, died Monday November 6, 2023, at Parkview-Randallia Hospital. Janet was born in Fort Wayne on April 11, 1946, the daughter of the late James and Genevieve (Krasienko) Ditton. She graduated from Central Catholic with the Class of ’63 and went on to earn her teaching degree from Purdue University, and then an additional degree in computer science from IPFW. Janet was first employed at Lincoln Life and retired as a Senior Program Analyst for IBM.

Janet was a member of St. Jude Catholic Church; she enjoyed cooking and baking, which lent themselves well to her longtime assistance with funeral luncheons at St. Jude and donating countless dishes to churches and schools. She was an avid quilter and was a member of the Appleseed Quilters Guild and the Charm Quilters Club, and Janet gifted numerous family & friends with beautiful, handmade quilts. Janet was devoted to her faith, her family, and her friends. She was giving, loving and generous and will be dearly missed.

She is survived by her sister, Sherry Hunt of New Haven; nephews, Jeff (Teresa) Hunt of Fishers and James (Jennifer) Hunt of New Haven; great-nieces, Hailey Hunt and Olivia Hunt, both of New Haven, Genny Waidelich of Fort Wayne, Ava Hunt and Sophie Hunt, both of Fishers; and her great-great-nephews, Ryatt, Henry and Kade.
