Janae’ Elizabeth Shuler, 33, of Washington DC, passed away on September 24, 2021. Janae’ was born in Bronx, New York to Jeannette Shuler (Deceased) and Matthew Floyd (Deceased) on February 8, 1988. In 1998 Janae’ moved to Arlington, VA with her mother. She graduated from Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA. And was known as “Shuler the Ruler” by her many lifelong high school friends. It is in high school where Janae’ developed her love of the German Language.
For those who knew Janae’, they knew her challenges but also knew the fun and laughter she brought with her presence. She was the life of the party and loved talking on the phone and hanging out with her friends and family. When you met her, you never forgot her.
