Obituary for Janet E. Ratti

Janet Edna Ratti, age 78, passed away unexpectedly on January 3, 2023 from complications of Alzheimer's Disease. She is survived by her two children Mark Ratti (age 46) of Royersford, PA and Michael Ratti (48) of West Chester, PA and her grandchildren who made up the entirety of her world; Lucas (deceased), Owen (age 12), Nathan (age 11), Dexter (age 10) and Lavinia (age 9).

Janet was born on June 7, 1944. She was one of 5 siblings of Margaret and Harry Filler. She was born in Philadelphia but ultimately grew up in Upper Darby, PA. Janet was married to Gino Ratti (deceased) and lived in and around the Philadelphia area, ultimately settling back again and making a home in Upper Darby for over 30 years.

Initially, Janet was a homemaker raising her two boys, then became a marketing research survey taker in the Granite Run (defunct) and Springfield malls for a time and decidedly changed careers to run a successful home cleaning business. Janet loved spending time at the Jersey shore with her family, relaxing on the beach and enjoying all the shore has to offer. One of the great highlights and adventures of her life was taking a cruise to Alaska to experience all the beauty the region has to offer. In her retirement she truly treasured all her free time with her children and grandchildren, especially cherishing spoiling her grandchildren at every opportunity. She is truly loved and will be profoundly missed by her family.
