Wife of the late Raymond Albin Janiak. Survived by daughters, Kris, Tracey, Jackie (Steve) Wyandt; daughter-in-law, Doris; grandchildren, Rachael, Adrian, Melanie, Francis, Charles, Hilary, Joseph and Jake; six great grandchildren and by mutual adoption, Chelsey, Cody, Trevor, Logan and Philip;, many nieces, nephews and grand nieces and grand nephews and many wonderful friends.

Along with Ray, she worked to help get the Omro Community Center started. She had been an active member of Omro Women's Service League, Omro Study Club, the Ladies' Auxiliary of St. Mary Church and loved the game of bridge.
They lived in many cities due to Ray's schooling, job transfers and changes of jobs. With each move, she wore a different hat. Her first job was at Krumerich Jewelry Store, formerly at Main Street in Oshkosh. Some of the different places she worked include: as a waitress in a coffee shop, department stores, writer for the Voice Newspapers of Kentucky and Perrysburg, Ohio Messenger.

A special thanks to all the doctors, nurses, hospitalists, Sr. Pam, who cared for me during my varied illnesses. A special thank you to the Janiak family in which I never felt as an in-law. Many thanks to all the wonderful people who helped along the way—especially everyone.
If you ever think of me at all, remember I made you laugh ------I hope.
