Janet Kleser found peace in the arms of her Savior Jesus on February 3. 2025, at the age of 65 years.
Janet was the daughter of the late Clarence and the late Geraldine (nee Kochowski) Kleser. She is the dear sister of the late George (Karolyn) Kleser, Mary Ann Kleser. and James (Allie) Kleser.
Janet will be missed by many good friends but most of all by her best friends Terry and Rod Legate. Janet and Terry have had an unwavering friendship for over 50 years despite the many trials that befell Janet. Terry and Rod have always been there to lend support, encouragement and love. No better friends could Janet have had! Terry's extended family were dear friends of Janet as well.
Special thanks to Quaisha, manager of Next Step-Coventry Home where Janet has resided since 2019. Your care and compassion for Janet was so evident and so appreciated. Janet valued your friendship, and you made her feel so special doing her nails, hair and makeup. Janet loved being a girly girl and wearing as much bling as possible! Also thank you to all the rest of the care givers that assisted Janet at the home. She needed your help and was grateful for it.
Janet attended the Milwaukee Center for Independence (MCFI) where she was considered by many to be "the life of the brain health program." Janet developed many close friendships with fellow program participants and with all the wonderful staff who worked with her. Her absence will be sorely missed. Special thanks to Taylor and Erin and all the staff.
Janet was part of the Jesus Cares program held at St John's Ev. Lutheran Church in Oak Creek. She grew in her knowledge and faith in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She professed her beliefs confidently and made many new friends there.
Despite Janet's many trials and physical challenges she was always smiling and never complaining. She was an accomplished artist and even sold some paintings. She loved horses and her bedroom was proof of by wall hangings, bedding and stuffed animals.
Janet kept her eyes on Jesus. As 2 Timothy 4:7-8 says "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge will award to me on that day"
Janet has received her crown of glory!
Visitation Monday, February 10th, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church, 6700 S. Howell Ave., Oak Creek, followed by a Funeral Service at 11:30 AM. Private burial at Wisconsin Memorial Park in Brookfield.

Janet and her mom will forever share a part of my heart. I was her case manager and aide when she was at CCN. She was such an amazing soul and wasn't afraid of anyone because of everything she had went through. I truly hope she finally finds peace in her life. She deserves that 100%. Love you girl!

I have such a special thought in my mind of you running to be embraced by your mom, dad, Georgie and of course God and all the angels - free of all the earthly restrictions and handicaps you had lived with for so many years.
Yours and my eight-year age difference kept us from being as close as I was with your brother Georgie, but being my cousin still kept us blood relatives, which is always the closest relation one can have with another.
Love and peace to you, Janet.

Every day upon arrival or dismissal I would greet Janet with a "hello Janet from another planet" Janet would ask, what planet? I would name a planet and share some facts about that particular planet. Janet really enjoyed learning about the solar system. I will miss Janet, and I thank her for this endless journey we shared of learning the solar system.
