Janet Lynn Pascoe, age 71, of El Paso, Texas, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2026. Born on April 5th, 1955, Janet lived a life defined by warmth, kindness, and a deep dedication to the people around her.

Janet had an incredible ability to bring people together. Over her 71 years, she built a rich legacy of lasting friendships and shared experiences. Her deep, long-lasting friendships are a true testament to the loyal, loving confidante she was. Her unique spirit and companionship will be profoundly missed by her family, lifelong friends, and former colleagues.

Janet was a true cowgirl and was quite the barrel racer in her heyday. She had a deep love for animals, especially her barrel horse of 17 years Nothin', hummingbirds, and of course her favorite dog Mandy that someone surprisingly blessed her with by leaving her in the bed of her truck. Janet had a career in farm animal inspection for the United States Department of Agriculture. She had a passion for defending our environment, specifically protecting bees. She was also a faithful doner to St. Jude's Cancer Research.

Left to cherish Janets' memory is her niece Donna Jo Vickers (Gary Vickers) of El Paso TX. Her great niece Chanellor Vidal and great nephew Taylor Vickers of Austin TX. Her sister-in-law Debbie Whitmire of Tennessee and her cousin Dale Cray of Colorado.

Janet was preceded in death by her husband Myles Branch, father Pete Pascoe, mother Gwendolyn Pascoe, brother Danny Tharp and niece Jennifer Whitmire.

Arrangements are under the professional care of Martin Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, or to leave a message of support and share your favorite memories of Janet, please do so here. Her family and friends will cherish these stories for generations to come.

To know Janet was to love her, the arena may be quiet but her legacy rides in our hearts and she is in the arms of Jesus.

There will be a celebration of life on November 22nd at 2pm, located at Angry Owl Grill and Cantina, 4799 N Mesa El Paso TX. Please RSVP to Donna Jo if you will be able to attend.
