Janet Marie Boon

Born February 6, 1952 in Philadelphia, PA, she was the daughter of John J. and Geraldine L. Hitchcock Lengvarsky. On June 29, 1974 in Allegany, she married Richard C. Boon who survives.

Janet was a 1970 graduate of Allegany Central School and began working for Acme Electric Co. in Allegany in 1974, and she was a member of the CWA Union. After the closure of the plant in Allegany, she continued at the Cuba plant until 2003 when it closed. She then worked for Olean Advanced Products until her retirement.

Janet’s love of life, her family, her friends and her dogs made her a joy to always be around. Besides her husband Dick, she was best friends with her daughter Kylie and they often took trips together. To everyone, she was a kind and caring friend, and was always ready to help others. She will be remembered as fun-loving and spunky, and as one who cherished her family get-togethers, playing bingo, and making occasional trips to the casino.

She is survived by her husband Richard and her loving daughter Kylie (Jim Galatio) McLaughlin of Olean; 4 brothers John Lengvarsky of Portville, William Lengvarsky of West Palm Beach, Edward (Pat) Lengvarsky of New Port Richey, FL and Donald (Denise) Lengvarsky; 2 sisters Priscilla (James) Stark of Allegany and Darla Lengvarsky of Olean; several nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and several very close friends.

At Janet’s direction, there will be no public service or visitation at this time. The family will gather for a private burial ceremony in the Five Mile Cemetery, Allegany.
