Janet McGuire McSween

Mint Hill - As the sun rose up on the morning of February 8th, Janet McGuire McSween went home to be with the Lord Jesus. Janet, 62, had been fighting an extended illness which attacked her lungs for the past three years, but now she can breathe easy again in the presence of her heavenly Father.

Janet was born in Harriman, Tennessee, to Thomas and Margaret McGuire on March 13, 1950. She was dedicated to enriching the lives of those around her through insightful observations, passionate encouragement, and powerful creativity. Over her 23-year career as an 8th grade science teacher, she taught at Charlotte Christian School, McClintock Middle School, South Charlotte Middle School, and Jay Robinson Middle School.

At the center of who Janet was is her faith in Jesus Christ as her own personal Savior. Janet loved her family with a sacrificial and generous heart and particularly close to her heart were her grandchildren, whom she lavished with gifts and affection.

She is remembered by her husband of 41 years, Donald Boyd McSween II; Brian Logan McSween, married to Megan Elisabeth McSween, with their son Connor; David Latham McSween, married to Carolyn Gathman McSween, and their daughters Delaney and Audrey, and son Mitchell. Janet is survived by her mother, Margret Johnson McGuire; her brother, Thomas McGuire, Jr. and his family; her sister, Carol McGuire Shaw and her son; and her brother, Lawrence "Bruce" McGuire and his family.

Visitation Service will be held in Lowe-NeddoFuneral Home at 4715 Margaret Wallace Road, Matthews NC on Monday, February 11th from 6-8 pm. Funeral Service will be held in Garr Memorial Church at 7700 Wallace Rd. on Tuesday, February 12th at 10:00am.
