Janet G. Stalder went to her heavenly home on January 24, 2020 at Brookdale Wake Forest Senior Living following a long, eleven year battle with dementia. She was born in Ogden, UT on November 6, 1943. She spent her early life with four sisters in Mount Pleasant, IA, where her father was the town family physician. She graduated from Grinnell College in Grinnell, IA. Janet worked as a computer operator for Honeywell in Minneapolis, MN until her marriage to Bob Stalder on July 31, 1976. Over the next twenty years, she moved with Bob from Minnesota to Rockford, IL, Malvern, PA, and Columbus, OH - raising their two sons, Jim and Matt.
Bob and Janet retired in 1999 and have called Wake Forest, NC their home for the past 20 years. Throughout her entire life, Janet was a very sweet, loving, and giving person. She was a Cub Scout Den Mother, fundraiser for Paoli Hospital Auxiliary Board, and volunteer and Stephen Minister at Hope Lutheran Church.
A service of praise and thanksgiving will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2020 at Hope Lutheran Church in Wake Forest, NC with Pastor Lew Upchurch presiding. The service will be followed by a brief graveside service at Oakwood Cemetery in Raleigh, NC. In lieu of flowers, please send memorial gifts to Hope Lutheran Church.
