Janet was born & raised in Revere. She was educated in Revere Public Schools and is an alumna of Revere High School, Class of 1964. After graduation, she pursued her dream of becoming a nurse. She attended & graduated from the Somerville Hospital Nursing School in Somerville, where she earned her R.N. Degree. Janet always wanted to be a nurse in the Emergency Room. She began a long career at the Winthrop Community Hospital, where she worked for over 20 years. She then took a position at the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center where she was an urgent care nurse and then a diabetic educator for 15 years before retiring. Janet married William Stec on December 7, 1969, after a 6-year courtship. The couple resided in Revere and together they began to raise their family. For the past 15 years, she and her husband have lived in Lynn. Janet was known for her flare of interior decorating. She loved making her home beautiful with furnishings and home décor, and also got great pleasure from creating floral arrangements in her spare time. Janet was known by her family as a “collector of many things.”
Janet, above all else, was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She is the devoted wife, just shy of 50 years, to William A. Stec, Sr. of Lynn. Beloved daughter of the late Vincent J. & Lena M. (Cogliano) Gallo. Loving mother of William A. Stec, Jr. & wife Christine of Dedham, Robin L. Trainor & husband Derek J. of Peabody & Ryan J. Stec & wife Tiffany M. of Lynnfield. Adored Nana of Lexi, Dylan, Mackenzie, Brayden & Bryce. Dear sister of Vincent J. Gallo, Jr. & John J. Gallo & wife Karen, all of Peabody. She is also lovingly survived by many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins, dear friends and colleagues.
