Janna Pensavalle of Weeki Wachee, Florida, passed away peacefully, at home, comforted by her husband on June 29th, 2023. Janna was from Walla Walla, Washington, where she graduated high school in 1988. Along with a true gift and talent for crafting, she had a playful sense of humor, and an amazing work ethic. Janna could work circles around others and spent the last years of her career advancing from Receptionist to Client Services at a local tax advisory company, where she also held the unofficial title of “Director of First Impressions”. Like her favorite flower, the sunflower, Janna thrived around people. She was bright, warm, bold and welcoming, and will be greatly missed by all those lucky enough to have spent time with her. When once asked by a colleague what, as a child, she had wanted to be when she grew up, she said absolutely, “a princess”. This earned her a second unofficial title of “Princess Sunflower”. Janna is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Ettore Pensavalle. No funeral services will be held as it was Janna’s wish that her estate be used for others, rather than herself. We all know how much she loved sunflowers, so all who wish to honor Janna’s life are invited to plant some sunflowers at their home, as a warm reminder of her free and full spirit.
