We are saddened at the recent passing of Janet Buchanan Smith, a tireless advocate for protecting land and animals who also volunteered in classrooms to help children succeed. She was a true community philanthropist who gave generously of her time and financial support to the programs and projects that aligned with her passions.
Janet was an extraordinary lifelong learner. Her thirst for knowledge prompted her to take classes not only at the Eastman School, but also at the University of Oxford, the University of Rochester, and Monroe Community College, where she discovered her talent for watercolor painting. She often donated her art for auctions, assisting several nonprofit organizations with their fundraising.
The Community Foundation introduced this Wayne County resident to a local Children’s Defense Fund model school program that builds academic and social success for city children. A site visit to the school prompted Janet to establish an endowment fund to help support it into the future. For all she had done in our community, we honored Janet with a Philanthropy Award in 2012.
Our deepest condolences to her husband, Bob, her extended family, and many friends. ... See MoreSee Less
