Janet attended the Blessed Virgin Mary Grade School in Menominee, just over the hill and fields behind their farm home. They often walked to and from school, unless they got lucky and Dad was taking the truck to the cheese factory across the road from the school. She completed 4 years of High School at the St. Clara Academy in Sinsinawa, WI. She was awarded a scholarship and attended Edgewood College in Madison Wisconsin. She worked briefly at a bank in Dubuque, IA, before marrying Joseph R. Vosberg in 1961. While married they had 4 children, Sharon (Chuck) Runde, Beth Ann (Steve) Hartung, Michael (Dixie) Vosberg and Sara Hilby (friend, Bill). Janet was active for many years in the Immaculate Conception parish in Kieler, WI. She later moved to Dubuque, IA where she became a member of St. Anthony's parish, enjoying new friendships and weekly Bible studies. She was a volunteer for many years at Mercy Health Center in Dubuque, and in 1995 received an award from Governor Terry Branstad for her many hours of service. Janet greatly enjoyed flowers and was commissioned to create the wall decor for a local event center. She was also an excellent cook and baker, receiving numerous blue ribbon wins thru the Telegraph Herald Recipe Round Up. She had the opportunity to travel to Europe, including Lourdes, France, hoping to be cured of her Multiple Sclerosis in the Lourdes waters. Janet had MS for 54 years.
She is survived by her 4 children, 3 sisters, RoseAnn Kunkel, Joan Ricketts and Connie (Doug) Brock; 13 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren (with another due in August!); an aunt, Evelyn Lange; along with several nieces, nephews and cousins.
