January 10, 2010Janet L. Taylor , 90, of North Hampton, died Saturday, Jan. 2, 2010, at Exeter Hospital. Mrs. Taylor was born Sept. 20, 1919, in Beverly, Mass., a daughter of the late David and Elizabeth (Haskell) Burnham.
She earned her degree from Boston Business School and worked in inventory control for United Consumers out of Brookline and Randolph, Mass.
She is survived by her brother, David R. Burnham Jr. and his wife Dorothy of Humarock, Mass., and Naples, Fla.; her niece, Elizabeth Ann Cordoza and her husband Raymond of Sonora, Calif.; her nephews, Peter Craig and family of Greene, Maine, David R. Burnham III and family of Milford, and Richard T. Burnham and family of Magnolia, Mass.; her cousins, Marion Taylor of Salem, Mass., Barbara Haskell Hemeon of Essex, Mass., and Donald W.

After her retirement, Janet gave up her weekly commute and joined her late husband, Donald A. Taylor, in North Hampton, where she remained for the next 45 years. She then went to work as an executive assistant to June Bean of Bean Insurance Company of Hampton.
She was a member of the Haskell Family Association (#774) and a parishioner of St. John's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth. An interest in U.S. history led to her membership in the North Hampton Historical Society, where she served eight years as president. Janet collected paperweights. One of her favorite activities was going out to eat, especially at one of her many favorite places.
Janet's later years, especially her last, were enhanced by close and supportive friends who became members of her "extended family," including but not limited to Pat and Harold Simons of North Hampton, Judy and Bob St. Laurent of Brentwood, her home health aide Maureen Lyons of Brentwood, her hairdresser Gina of Hampton, and Judy Joy of North Hampton.
Donald and Janet had no children.
