Obituary - Janet Schlinker
Janet Schlinker
1957 - 2025
It is with deep sadness that the family announce the passing of Janet Schlinker, whose kind heart, radiant smile and unwavering love touched everyone fortunate enough to have known her. Janet’s warmth, kindness, and joy for life will remain with us always, and her memory will be a guiding light in the lives of those who loved her.
Janet leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. She is survived by her son, David McGill and his wife, Rhanda, who held a special place in her heart. Janet will be profoundly missed by her parents, Ralph and Matilda Schlinker, whose love and guidance shaped her into the remarkable woman she was.
Janet shared a close bond with her siblings, Donna (Chris) Massini, Linda (Eldon) Barrand, Dave (Joanne) Schlinker, Nancy (Brent) Stegweit, Jim (Hermi) Schlinker and Paula (Todd) Sheridan. Their love and laughter together were a testament to the strength of family. Her nieces, nephews and extended family will forever remember her fun-loving spirit and ever-present smile that brightened even the darkest of days.
A private family celebration of Janet’s life will be held at a later date.

This obituary was the most beautifully worded one I have ever read.
Janet was so very fortunate to have the family she had.
Their love and care for her, especially during the last years of her life, really must be commended
Love and prayers,
Maureen

Susie Richter (my mother) lived across the hall from Janet at Good Samaritan. Lots of baking was exchanged and so many smiles. She was consistently a great friend. Her physical limitations did not change her positive outlook and support of others around her.
