Janet was born on October 1, 1943, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to the late Joseph and Theresa Smukowski. Janet and her family have lived in many places from the Midwest to California and Canada before they settled down and retired in Atlantic. This became their favorite spot, mainly due to the great friendships made in the Down East area.

She was always happy to help those in her community. Her strong faith and belief in God were evident to those who knew her. She enjoyed Bible Studies and being a member of Atlantic United Methodist Church. Janet loved her crafts, quilting, making baskets, painting, and ceramics. Sharing her creations with others was always a blessing to the receiver and even more so to Janet. She also enjoyed gardening and was an excellent cook and baker. She was known to accumulate quite a few shells and sand dollars on their many fun boat trips to the inlet. Her grandchildren were her main focus, and she cherished their visits and talking to them on the phone. She will be dearly missed by everyone she knew, especially the folks in Atlantic.

She is survived by loving husband of 57 years, Jerry Nordskog of the home; sons, Craig Allan Nordskog of Port St. Lucie, FL, Brian Keith Nordskog of Winston Salem, NC and Devin Scott Nordskog and wife Sheila of Munster, Ontario; beloved grandchildren, Brittney Marie, Morgan Marie, Savannah Leigh, Amelia Grace, Thomas Andrew, Jacob Alden, and Carter William; sister, Shirley Skarda and husband Jim of Sussex, WI; and sister-in-law, Marilyn Serrano of Sun City, CA.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions in memory of Janet, may be made to Atlantic United Methodist Church at P.O. Box 145, Atlantic, NC 28511.
