The Judiciary of Guam is mourning the passing of retired Justice Janet Healy Weeks — a trailblazer whose decades of service helped shape Guam’s judicial system.

Weeks was a pioneer in the legal community, becoming the first woman admitted to the Guam Bar and the first female judge appointed on Guam and in Micronesia. She later served on both the Superior Court and the Supreme Court of Guam, where her legacy of fairness, integrity, and leadership left a lasting mark.

Her influence extended beyond Guam, serving across the region, including with the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau.

Chief Justice Katherine A. Maraman says Weeks’ legacy will continue to inspire generations, calling her a devoted public servant who helped pave the way for those who followed.

The Judiciary extends its deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
