Janet Kriescher

Janet Elaine Kriescher, 88, of Wausau, passed away on Wednesday, October 14, 2020, at Copperleaf.

Janet was born in Wausau on May 1, 1932, to the late Rudolph and Esther (Artus) Fritz. She retired from Wausau Insurance after 27 years.

Janet was an active member of St. Stephen Lutheran Church and a member of the American League Women’s Auxiliary.

Her smile and her charm will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Janet is survived by her son, Thomas (Traci); three grandchildren, Crystal Kriescher, Rikki Helvey, and Lucas Barr; and one great-grandchild, Taylor Goetsch.
