Janet K Cooper Clamp, age 75, passed away on Friday, April 4, 2025 in Houston, Texas. Born in Wooster, OH, she spent most of her life in Columbia, SC.

Janet was retired from First Citizens Bank in Columbia, SC. She loved to cook, crochet, and be surrounded by the people she loved most -family and friends. Her kind, generous, and joyful spirit lit up every room she entered. She had a special way of making everyone feel at home, and to so many, she was like a second mom. Her love for animals and her big heart will never be forgotten.

The family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful people at Clare-Mar for the exceptional care and compassion shown to our mom during her final days.
