Mrs. Edelmann was always so caring and loving to her students. I was one of her students when she would sub for a sick teacher. We always loved when she subbed. This is a big loss for all and my thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends and to all of whom got to know her and be taught by her.

Janet was a lovely woman and a favorite aunt. I am happy I was able to spend some time with her a couple of months ago. I loved her stories and her remembrances about my mother, Ginny. I will miss her. Prayers for her family during this time of grief.

Janet (nee Steman) Edelmann passed away peacefully during the early morning of Friday, January 16th, 2026, at the age of 92. She was the beloved wife of the late Paul Edelmann for nearly 70 years.
Mother of Susan Wojtkun (James), Ellen Marks, Lawrence Edelmann (Jane), and Laura Ashton.

In addition to her beloved husband, Janet was preceded in death by her loving parents, Bernard and Florence (nee Diesel) Steman, as well as cherished brother Paul Steman and son-in-law Richard Marks.
Janet dedicated herself as a wife and mother and later worked as a substitute teacher.
Janet was a long time parishioner at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church (OLSH) where she was active in Parish Council, Choral Group, Youth Activities Committee and served as a Eucharistic Minister.
She was a founding member of the OLSH Mission Commission and received numerous awards for her dedicated volunteerism including the St. Julie Billiart Award for Christian Leadership from her alma mater, Mount Notre Dame HS.
Some of her favorite Mission Ministries projects include organizing parishioners to make dozens of meatloaves each month for delivery to Our Daily Bread and partnering with St. Michaels church, an underserved parish in Paintsville, Ky. Several times a year, donations of clothing, toys and household items were delivered to Paintsville by members of Janet's parish. In addition, each Christmas Janet organized a toy drive for the children of St. Michael's parish.
Janet loved to travel and took many trips with her husband Paul. They were often accompanied by family or dear friends, including numerous cruises and trips to Disney World.
