Janet was a very kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed working at Sears in Fond du Lac for several years. She loved family gatherings as well as creating beautiful gifts for her family. Each of her great-grandchildren received a handcrafted gift for Christmas…which included dogs, rabbits, frogs, and beautiful dolls. These gifts will be very special remembrances of her for each of them. She enjoyed knitting, baking, reading, playing cards, crossword puzzles, and taking walks. Janet was a longtime member of St. Patrick’s Church and currently a member of Holy Family Parish.
