In Memory of Janis Timberlake

By Allison Kundu

In lieu of flowers, support the fight against HIV/AIDS in Janis' memory

Janis K. Timberlake, 71, passed away peacefully on Jun 24, 2026. Most recently a resident of Alexandria, Virginia, and Corolla, North Carolina, she spent forty years working in international public health. Her lasting impact on global health is felt in the lives saved through prevention and access to treatment for HIV/AIDS, and the many colleagues she mentored. 

Janis is remembered as an incredible friend, mentor, coach, and champion. Her passion was always people, and she built community everywhere she visited. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Janis's memory to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.

Janis was such a positive person, and she made a huge difference in so many lives. She was accepting of all types of people and made vibrant communities wherever she went. Janis' strong spirit is definitely with us now. We feel so privileged and honored to have known her as a trusted colleague and close friend. We miss her so much.

We are so sorry for your loss. Janis was the first neighbor we met when we moved in 7 years ago, and she was truly the heart of our little community. Our boys will miss seeing Janis on her neighborhood walks and at her driveway hangouts. I hope all your good memories give you some peace in this sad time.

We served with Janice in the Peace Corps in Senegal in the late 70’s. She embraced the people and the culture of Senegal and went on to make international health her life’s work. Janice was such a kind soul and will be missed by so many. She truly made a difference in this world!

Allison, you don’t know me but I feel like I know your family through what Janis shared. Janis and I met as neighbors in Ocean Sands, Corolla, Outer Banks. Meeting Janis meant making an instant friend. We would occasionally meet up with Janis and Michael at Johnny Davis’s Butcher Block - Corolla’s version of Cheers! After we moved back to DC, kept in touch through Facebook. Hearing from her was always a joyful experience. She radiated, she listened, she invested ALL she had in everyone she knew. I was so very saddened to see this sudden and unwelcome news but will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to know her. Reading others’ tributes was beautiful. I happen to believe that our loved ones never leave us. Their spirit lives on in us. I wish that for all of you who she loved so much.
