Beloved daughter, sister, friend, Janus Lynn Palmer, passed away March 17, 2025, in Monterrey, California. She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. She was a week shy of her sixty-fifth birthday.

Janus grew up in Dallas and attended Lake Highlands High School. Afterwards, she graduated from the University of Texas in Austin. Later she moved to California. She worked there in the scholastic testing business (SAT/ACT) for many years before eventually returning to Austin. Old friends, new friends, the ocean (including a brief residence in Gand Cayman), the hill country, and Austin country music— these, along with her nieces, Jordan and Hannah, were her favorite things. More recently, she moved back to California to be with her love, Jim, and to live within walking distance of the beach.

Janus was preceded in death by her father, Bob Palmer. She is survived by her mother, Bee Bee, her brother “BobbyRobert” and wife, Melody, and sisters, Tricia Barnard, and Jules Setzer and husband, David.

She asked that her remains be placed by her family in a private cemetery in the hill country. Memorial to be announced. Donations may be made to Austin retired musicians’ fund: HOME. https://homeaustin.networkfor….
