Janet Lisle Obituary, Little Compton Historical Society Beloved Volunteer Has Died

Janet Lisle Obituary, Death- We regret to inform you that on October 6, 2023, after a courageous struggle with cancer, our dear friend and dedicated volunteer, Janet Lisle, passed away. We shall miss Janet dearly, and we will always value and honor the work she did for the Historical Society and the local community.

Janet gave the Historical Society a priceless gift ten years ago: her undying devotion, boundless enthusiasm, and exceptional writing skills. She set out on a grand adventure to record the vibrant history of Sakonnet and Little Compton, and the astonishing results of her labors are the classics “The History of Little Compton: First Light Sakonnet” and “The History of Little Compton: A Home by the Sea.”

The fascinating history of Sakonnet and Little Compton is chronicled in these novels, which are both extensively researched and wonderfully written. Janet’s commitment to this cause was vital to the success of our group since she wrote the first complete history of Little Compton.

Her novels continue to bring readers happiness and knowledge because of her signature style and grace, which she used to bring the past to life. Janet’s pioneering effort paved the way for the Historical Society to produce a plethora of subsequent volumes on local history.

Her contributions as a guide and teacher were crucial, as she freely shared her expertise with others to inspire the next generation of historians and ensure the survival of the anecdotes that remind us of our heritage. Janet Lisle’s name will go on as an important part of our city’s heritage.

Her work will have an enduring impact and serve as an inspiration for future generations. In addition to her writing contributions, she will be remembered for her generosity, kindness, and dogged pursuit of cultural preservation. All of us who knew Janet will miss her dearly, and we will always treasure the time we spent with her.

Let us remember her by carrying on the traditions of conservation, community service, and unwavering commitment that she so admirably exhibited. Rest in peace, sweet Janet, your legacy lives on in the stories you told and the lives you touched.
