Before her marriage, Janet worked at Consolidated Papers, Biron Division. After raising her family she worked at Herrschners in Stevens Point.
She loved spending time in her garden, watching the wildlife in her backyard, feeding the birds, and most of all, spending time with her grandchildren. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was a down-to-earth farm girl with an unbreakable spirit.
Janet is survived by her children, Kathy (Jack) Tauschek, Kevin (Lynn) O'Shasky, Mark (Lisa) O'Shasky, Jill (Robert) Piatt, daughter-in-law Roberta O'Shasky; her grandchildren, Carey (Butch) Skerven, Lynn (Chris) Malloy, Terri (Chad) Normington, Amy (Sean) Yach, Jackie (Kenny) Barlow, Zachary (Alexis) O'Shasky, Katie Krueger, Abby (Isaac) Bowe, Ben O'Shasky, Sam O'Shasky, and Michelle O'Shasky; 11 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild; her siblings, Norman (Kathy) Gumz, Delores Bier, Lloyd Gumz, Alvin (Mary Lou) Gumz, Evelyn Gumz, and Ellen (Matthew) Bates. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Bud O'Shasky, her daughter Joan Elliott, her son Larry O'Shasky, her brothers Vilas and Lyle Gumz, her sister Eleanor Sazama, her brothers-in-law Tony Sazama, Gene Bier and her great-granddaughter Chloe Barlow.

I am sorry for your loss. Janet's obituary brought back fond memories from Hillview School. My sister Anita Pelot was in Janet's class and I was in class with Lyle and Loyld ( twins). Remember the Christmas plays, recess games, etc. Our farm was just down the road past Youngs. Those sure were a more simple, and wonderful time.
All my blessings to your family,
Judy ( Pelot) Lessig
