Janet M. Liddick, 74, of Marysville, PA, left this world on Thursday, August 31, 2023 with her loving family by her side. Janet was born in Hershey, PA on December 21, 1948. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Dorothy Miller.
Janet graduated from Lower Dauphin High School in 1967. She was a “Jill of all trades,” and she could do anything she set her mind to. She worked as a baker for many years, first at Weis Markets and later for Giant Food Stores, until her retirement. In addition, she and her husband owned and ran an antiques business, J and A Liddick’s Antiques, Collectibles, and Such. Over many years, they sold items in various co-op stores as well as their own stores in Duncannon and Newport, until the time of her passing.
Janet was a very petite woman with a huge personality. She was often described as “sassy” and a “firecracker.” She was fiercely loving, intelligent, and kind. She was outgoing and made friends everywhere she went. She loved her family and friends, and she was always willing to help anyone. She loved visiting antique shops, flea markets, estate sales, or anywhere she could unearth a great find or deal.
Janet truly touched the lives of so many. Among the people she leaves to celebrate her life and memory are her husband of thirty-three years, Arthur Liddick, her three daughters, Kathy Irvin, Dawn Garland and fiance`, Chris Gates, and Tricia Deatrick and husband, Kirk Deatrick, her four grandchildren, Joshua Irvin, Thomas Garland, William Garland, and Brandon Liddick, and two great-grandchildren, Willow and Christopher. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, Wayne Miller, her son, Robert Liddick, and her son-in-law, Scott Irvin.

Aunt Janet.
you will truly be missed. I loved your personality and how you were so caring for others. I will always remember the family reunions and swimming in the pool as you would try and get the kids out to eat and so that the adults could have some time in the pool without the kids. Teaching us how to snap beans, and shuck corn. And the times spent at the Moose Lodge. I loved visiting you at your store and you finding that piece of Glass ware i was looking for to give to my Brother. you are Gem and will be missed by many! I love you
I will treasure our friendship for ever. You will be missed so much by so many. Thank you for all the memories and laughs. Rest my dear friend.
Aunt Janet,

Love ‘Woodie’ Laura
Aunt Janet, I will miss you with all my heart. Your smiles, your snappy comebacks, your hugs, your unconditional love. I know you’ll be looking down, telling me “no tears”… I’ll try..
Love you always..
