DAVIS FAMILY FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)

Cornelia Janet Pasqua, 83 and longtime resident of Bartlesville, was in Dewey when she joined her Heavenly Father.

Janet was born the daughter of Charles Curtis and Louisa (Bushyhead) Peak on August 4, 1933, in Claremore, OK. She was raised in the Grove and Jay, OK area and graduated from Chilocco Indian School in 1951. She furthered her education at the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, KS, where she met the love of her life Clarence William Pasqua. They were united in marriage on May 1, 1953, in Tulsa where they made their home. In 1960, they moved to Bartlesville where they raised their family.

Janet was a loving mother who doted on her children, always encouraging them to read and pursue a lifelong passion for learning. Once the children were older she worked various administrative jobs in Bartlesville before starting her career with Phillips Petroleum Co., finally retiring in 1992. Once retired Janet and Clarence were inseparable, and they enjoyed nearly 64 years of loving marriage. They took many car rides, short and long, and many memorable trips to California to visit family.

Janet loved the Lord with all her heart, soul, mind and strength. She faithfully taught Sunday school for many years. Baseball was her favorite sport to watch and she volunteered countless hours with the Red Cross. Janet was very proud of her Cherokee heritage and the fact that she was a full blood Cherokee citizen. Most of all she loved spending time with her family, being outdoors, cooking, and caring for her children and grandchildren. Her final years were spent residing in the Medial Lodge of Dewey, Ok. While there she continued to bless all those around her by always displaying a smile and inner strength that bore witness to her strong faith in God. She will be greatly and forever missed.

Janet is survived by her beloved husband Clarence of the home; four children, Craig Randall Pasqua and Lyn of Sunnyvale, CA, Phil Cary Pasqua and Rosa of Sacramento, CA, Kara Beth Pasqua Whitworth and Kevin Cole of Skiatook, Cinda Louise Pasqua of Tulsa; one sister Bertha Lee Rothhammer of Broken Arrow; one sister in law Mary Sue Peak of Oakhurst, OK; seven grandchildren, John Whitworth, Matthew Whitworth, Mateo Pasqua, Paola Pasqua, Josh Bauer, Katy Garvey and Kate Whitworth; four great grandchildren and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
