Janet Petillo Brown Lazarus, a cherished wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away on March 25, 2024. She will always be known for her vibrant spirit and infectious laughter by all her friends and family. Her positive outlook on life unfortunately took a turn after a multi-year battle with cancer that most would have never known she was fighting. She passed peacefully with her family by her side at home in Las Vegas. Born in Neptune, NJ to the late Patsy and Patricia Petillo, Janet and her family lived around Ocean Township, NJ most of her early life before moving to Las Vegas in 2005. Janet is survived by her devoted husband, James Lazarus, her sons, Patrick and William Lazarus, and her sister, Teray Ciezak. Her life was fulfilled with happiness by also getting to see the birth of her two granddaughters, Leandra Lazarus and Macy Lazarus in 2022 & 2023 after her first major health battle in 2019. A small burial service with her family will be held at Palm Eastern Cemetery in Las Vegas on April 4th.
