Janis Michelle Giardino Kracht, 72, of Slaterville Springs, NY, passed away peacefully at home on October 21, 2024. She was born on February 1, 1952, in Passaic, NJ, to John and Angela (Muraca) Giardino.
Janis grew up in Warwick, NY, and was a woman of remarkable talent and determination. Even with the challenges of MS for nearly 50 years, she excelled in everything she pursued. As a high school student, she honed her sewing skills, creating dresses for Broadway stars. Her vibrant personality shone through as Drum Sergeant of the Queen Village Queens and as Jean Brodie in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" while attending Orange County Community College. Janis was also a gifted cook and baker, winning numerous contests throughout her life.
In the 1980s, Janis and her husband, Ronald Kracht, embarked on a pioneering journey in the world of technology, co-founding Invisible Light Software. She was a driving force in the early days of online communities, running Filegate BBS and leading the Programmers Distribution Network. Her influence extended internationally as the head coordinator for North America (Zone 1) of Fidonet.
Janis was known for her humor, fierceness, stubbornness, and above all, her kindness. She had a passion for sewing, gardening, cooking, and baking, and her door was always open to family and friends, who were sure to be greeted with delicious food and warm hospitality. Janis was preceded in death by her parents and sister Marilyn Giardino Zych. She is survived by her loving husband, Ronald Kracht; her children, Matthew and Lauren; her grandchildren, Alex, Eoin, and Andrew; and her siblings: Carol ODea, John and Nancy Giardino, Lisa Giardino Hyams, Pam Bell, and Tami Giardino Bell.
A service was held in her honor on October 26th at the Charles Mulks cemetery in Caroline, NY.
Janis will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, and her legacy of kindness and determination will continue to inspire.
