Janet Krausz Obituary
August 6, 1931 - October 17, 2025
Belleville, Illinois - Janet Lillian Krausz entered her eternal home with Jesus her Lord on October 17, 2025.
Janet entered this life on August 6th, 1931, in Mascoutah, Illinois, to John and Viola Garner.
Janet was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
She shared and showed her love by giving gifts. She loved shopping and buying for others. She was a quiet, shy, loving woman!
After trusting Jesus Christ, God's only Son as her Savior from sin, God led her to teach Sunday School, help others, and enjoy her family.
Janet was a member of Signal Hill Lutheran Church. She cherished and loved her Hope Church Family.
Loving family members include her loving husband of 72 years, Wilmer Henry Krausz. He loved, cared, and was devoted to taking care of his bride for five years of suffering from dementia; her children: Mike (Sally – deceased) Krausz and Lisa (Jim) Smallwood; grandchildren: Jimmy (Heather) Smallwood, Jamie (Brock) Green, Amanda Krausz (James Cahill), and Allison (Brett) Lindenmeyer; great-grandchildren: Caroline Smallwood, Aubrey Green, Nora Smallwood, Emmie Green, Gracelyn Lindenmeyer, and Conrad Lindenmeyer; her beloved grand-dogs: Sami, Max, Hank, and Milly.
We would like to thank Ann Walker and Tukesha Lang for the extraordinary care given in Mom's final days.
Donations can be made to Signal Hill Lutheran Church.

So sorry as Janet was one of my dearest relatives. We had lots of fun - Her mother had the same disease. She was a wonderful person--will go directly to heaven.

Oh Janet...how I will miss stopping by to visit you when I come home. You and Will were such good neighbors and you were one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. May your sweet soul rest in peace as your loved ones welcome you to your new home. Fly with the angels my sweet friend.

Wilmer and Lisa, Very sorry to hear of Janet's passing. What wonderful lady and sweet person . I recall our visits with the two of you in our office. Janet was always quiet and attentive til you and I had discussed whatever, Wil. Then she quietly asked her questions. Having recently lost Ann, I have empathy for what you're experiencing. My thoughts and prayers are with y'all. Cherish and enjoy the many memories of your many years together. Fondly, Norm Krause
