A memorial service was held at the First Reformed Church of Scotia on Friday, August 9 for Janis Kay LeGere, 68, of Glenville who passed away August 1, 2013 at her summer home.
She was born October 14, 1944 in New Orleans, LA and was the daughter of the late Paul and Genevieve Robinson. She moved to Schenectady as a young child and graduated from Draper High School.
As the family historian, she worked tirelessly documenting the family history and cataloging thousand of family pictures. Her love of travel took her across the country many times.
She often traveled to extended family reunions to meet relatives she found while working on the family genealogy and to learn more of the family history.
Her family meant the world to her and she was a consummate caregiver. She adored her grandchildren and never missed a game or concert.
Jan’s favorite time of year was Christmas, and she went out of her way to make it a special time for everyone.
She was a member of the First Reformed Church of Scotia where she was a choir member for many years.
She is survived by Edward LeGere her husband of 43 years; daughter, Linea (Michael) Kilgallen; son, Edward LeGere Jr.; stepsons, Christopher and Keith LeGere; brother, Charles (Malia) Robinson; grandchildren, Connor, Michaela, and Kelly Kilgallen and Samantha LeGere.
