Janne Spallone-Conrad was born on April 25, 1951 in Middletown, CT to her parents Judge Daniel Spallone and Jeanne Field Spallone, and also attributed her warm upbringing to her loving grandmothers, Flora Field and Mary Spallone. She grew up in Deep River, CT with her two younger brothers, and attended Valley Regional High School graduating in 1969. She spent her summers on Block Island, RI – her happy place – since she was 11. She also met her first husband Spence Christie there, whom she wed in 1971.

Janne went on to graduate from Grace New Haven School of Nursing in 1972, where she found her true calling of caring. She trained and worked at Yale New Haven Hospital, and in the private practice of Dr. Marshall Holley, bringing babies into the world. As a young wife and mother of two, Janne relocated from West Haven to Woodbury, CT. She worked as a Registered Nurse at New Milford Hospital for 36 years, retiring from the Intensive Care Unit in 2016. She was a fierce advocate for her patients and their families, bringing comfort and calm during crises.

A proud and vibrant single mom in 1980, Janne often referred to herself and two daughters as the 'three musketeers' as they embarked on adventures like searching for unicorns, eating TV dinners, and going on road trips. Naturally beautiful and whip smart, Janne was not single long, sharing a blended family with Jack Conrad and his two children, Bethany and Jason, until 1993. In 2000, she settled in her own craftsman bungalow in Watertown, CT which she lovingly restored to its 1930s glory, with a treasured koi pond, abundant gardens, vintage accessories, and rotating cast of rescued cats and senior labs.

She met the love of her life, Bruce Osolin in 2013; they spent twelve cherished years together - laughing, dancing, cooking, doing home repairs, and enjoying their children and grandchildren. Janne was happiest walking the beach with her dog, reading, gardening, being with her family, or sharing a cocktail and contagious giggle with her beloved Bruce. Life teemed around her, thriving in her ever-loving care.

Janne is survived by her soulmate, Bruce Osolin and his sons Kyle and Andrew; her daughters Sarah Christie (Ade), Summer Riker (Gerry), and Bethany Prokupets (Dan); her grandchildren, Scarlett and Cassidy Riker, and Senna and Daisy Jones; her brothers Niel Spallone and Jamie Spallone (Alix), nephew Tristan and niece Phoebe Spallone, and countless friends. She was pre-deceased by her parents and son of her heart, Jason Conrad.

A private service will be held on Block Island, RI. A celebration of life will be held at Sunset Grille in Watertown, CT on Saturday, October 11, 2025 from 1pm-3pm. Please honor Janne by finding joy in simple pleasures – a warm cup of coffee, lunch with old friends, weeding your garden, a good book, a cat's purr, a dog's smile, an afternoon nap, a kind word, or an antique teddy bear that needs mending.
