Janet “Jan” M. Noseworthy
Tewksbury- Janet “Jan” M. Noseworthy passed away at home peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones on May 19, 2021.
She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Harvey Noseworthy, her two daughters Kristin and Danielle Noseworthy, and her beloved grandson Brayden Asselin. She is also survived by her two sisters Trisha Zani and Carol McHugh.
Janet was born on January 19, 1956 in Cambridge, Massachusetts to the late Mario and Rita Roscio. She graduated from Watertown high school. After high school she worked at Western Electric where she met her husband Harvey and a long list of lifelong friends. They married on April 29, 1978 and moved to Tewksbury shortly after, where they went on to raise their two girls.
Jan devoted her life to her family and friends. She was the most selfless loving woman, who would do anything to help others. She enjoyed working hard, trips to Foxwoods and Atlantic City with her best friends, being “Auntie Jan” to anyone who needed a spare auntie, lobster rolls down the cape, but most importantly spoiling her favorite person, her grandson Brayden. Being his “Mamma” was her greatest joy in this world. Recently retired from 20 years at the post office, she looked forward to spending every moment she could with him. She will be greatly missed by anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting her.
A memorial mass will be held in her memory on Wednesday June 2, 2021 at 1130am at St Williams church 1351 Main St, Tewksbury, MA 01876. A celebration of life will follow in Jan’s memory at a later date.

Trisha and Carol,
Janet left me with so many memories of growing up on Merrifield Ave. Mahjong, cards, driving around in her car. She talked loudly and a mile a minute! It was her trademark. She was full of life and always very generous to others. I remember she gave my date her car so he could take me to my senior prom.
Take comfort she is no longer in pain and will always be with you in spirit. XO
To the Noseworthy family I’m so sad to hear of her passing may she be at peace and prayers to all the family
My heart is broken to hear that Jan has left us. Such a fun loving person who would literally give you the shirt off her back. What fun we all had at Western Electric back in the day. Bowling on Thursday nights, all the softball games and the trips to the cape were memories I will always treasure. She made friends with anyone she stumbled upon and kept those friendships forever. I am so sorry to hear she was in pain in the end but she fought a good fight so many times in her life. She cherished her husband and girls with such unconditional love and we all know how she felt about her little sidekick. He grew up at the casinos, eating at the best restaurants and swimming in those beautiful pools with his main squeeze. She will be sorely missed by so many. May she be free from pain and rest in eternal peace.
Harvey, my thoughts and prayers go out to you, Danielle, and Kristen. Our sincere condolences for the loss of Janet. As you know we have many wonderful memories of good times together. Janet was a beautiful person both inside and outside, a friend to Everyone she met. Sending prayers to the Noseworthy family at this difficult time!

Dear Harvey, Kristen ,Danielle and Brayden
I’m so heartbroken to hear this devastating news!! Rob and I moved to Florida about 10 years ago, so I’ve been out of touch with everyone. I’m sorry I didn’t get to see her before she passed. I remember all the great times we had at Western Electric! All the laughter and all the tears!!! I pray that she is in peace now and that your family starts healing. Take comfort in knowing that she is now up in heaven with all the angels!! RIP my friend.
I met Janet and Harvey in the 70s and we’ve been friends ever since. We worked together at Western Electric. I have a lot of great memories from down the Cape. I’ll miss meeting for breakfast. I’m glad we always kept in touch. You had the biggest personality and always lit up like a Christmas tree talking about Brayden. I’ll miss you terribly my friend.
Harvey, Kristen,Danielle & Brayden, Janet will be missed by anyone that knew her. She had a heart of gold and was always there if you needed her.We have a lot of great memories over the years. I always admired her because she lived life to the fullest. RIP Janet Thoughts & Prayers are with you.
Dear Harvey and family so sorry for your loss we will never forget the times we had at western electric she was so much fun to be with RIP my friend Wally and Theresa
We all just kids when we met each other working at Western Electric.
Reading all the condolences shows how loved Jan really was.
For some strange reason she liked me.
All I can say is that it’s a good thing I sold her a good car.
Friends will always be friends
I will always remember that very fast voice saying “Paolo, give me back my newspaper, it’s not mine, it’s my mother’s”
Jan
Rest In Piece
As Joe Sullivan would say “ time to go”
To Harvey and the entire family. My sincere condolences. I was so saddened to hear of Jan’s passing. We all had the good fortune of working with, and being friends with Harvey and Janet at that second home of ours called Western Electric. We were together in an era that cannot be duplicated,,,,we were all friends and friends for life. Please pass on our condolences to your family.
So sorry to hear of Jan’s untimely passing…Such a kind and caring soul. I worked with Jan and Harvey at Western Electric in the 1980’s. Great memories of bowling, softball, fishing trips ….
If my memory serves me correctly, Jan fixed me up with a friend of hers, Debbie Mancusco…We had a lot of fun!! Those were the days!
Like the jobs at Western Electric….gone way too soon!! We were 1 big family…so many wonderful memories! Wishing peace and healing to Harvey and all of the Noseworthy family members…
Janet was my first employer. She was working 3 jobs and I helped take care of her children when she was at job #1. She was always very generous and often tipped me when she had a good day. Her girls are exceptional human beings just like their amazing mother. Janet was also very close with my grandmother and visited her often or took her to Bingo. There was never a person Anet wouldn’t befriend. Never anyone Janet wouldn’t help. She alway had a smile on her face. Love and miss you Janet
Janet was the most generous, kind, selfless person I have ever met. She would give you the shirt off her back and think nothing of it. We have been friends since our girls were in kindergarten, have had many laughs and memories over the years. Will never forget our bus trip to PEI- to say the least it was very memorable! So thankful for our many phone calls especially over the past year and thankful I got to see you on May 19th. Rest in peace my friend! Hope there is a casino in heaven for you! xoxo
I never met Jan but from how her daughter has always regarded her, I imagined she was a pretty special Mom, Grandma, and wife. May she Rest In Peace and her memories remain forever.
Janet was a kind, sweet lady who worked hard all her life and loved her Family and Friends.She came to Canada with my sister Judy (on the bus) . We laughed so much my side’s were sore. Then she became a Grammie a month before I did.We were blessed to have Grandsons with the same name (Brayden ).Brayden was the Apple of her eye!!!!!! Every time I went to visit Judy, Janet would come for a visit. Janet you will be missed greatly by all!!!!!! Rest in peace and i am sure you will get a casino going and have everyone in stiches.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Janet I had the pleasure of working with Janet on Tour 1. A bunch of us would always enjoy taking time to go out to breakfast after work. She was a kind and loving woman and will be dearly missed. RIP Janet
Harvey, Kristin,Danielle & Brayden I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how you are all dealing with this. Janet is like a sister to me. I miss her so much. We talked every day. Most days twice a day. That is a void in my life that will never be replaced and that’s hard for me to deal with. In my heart I know she wouldn’t want us to be sad but remember her as loving us. She was the most loving, caring person. Always making sure we were happy. Love you all and the happy memories will pull us through this ❤️
Harvey and family I am so sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. She was a good and kind person. She was a friend to all. Many wonderful memories of working with her at Western. One of the best bowlers in the league. I will always remember her drinking the silver bullets. May she rest in peace and all the wonderful memories you share give you comfort in the days ahead.
Janet was such a generous, kind and big-hearted person. She was so fun to be around and I’ll always remember her laughing, telling a joke at the top of her voice and living life exactly the way she wanted. My thoughts and prayers go out to her whole family. She loved you all so much. Our “Girl’s Weekends” won’t be the same without her.
Danielle & Family,
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your dear mom.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
