Janine M. Miely 1955-2025

Janine was born Nov. 28, 1955, in Youngstown, a daughter of Felix Anthony and Mary Louise Skoloda Miely.

She worked joyfully as an activities aide at the Purple Cat and was a member of the Christ Our Savior-St. Nicholas Church. Janine enjoyed making flannel blankets and seasonal wreaths for her friends and family, cooking family dishes, the beauty of lighthouses and the majesty of the ocean. She was a huge Disney fan, going first to Walt Disney World with her best friend, Kathy Tolich in 1974, and then many more times with her son, including once to Disneyland in California. Her last park visit was in early 2024, the same year she fulfilled her adulthood dream of visiting Lambeau Field to see the Green Bay Packers.

Janine leaves behind her son, Joshua A. Miely, with whom she lived; her brother, Felix Dominic Miely of New Castle, Pa.; four nieces and nephews, Danielle Miely, Machele Miely, Ryan (Chelsea) Miely and Jared Miely; three great-nephews, Dominic and Dakota Phillips, and Michael Miely; and her beloved mini goldendoodle, Charlie.

Janine was preceded in death by her parents.

A prayer service will be held at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, 2025, at Clemente Funeral Home, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 1 p.m. Wednesday, at Christ Our Savior Parish-St. Nicholas Church, both in Struthers.
