The Obituary Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Let us remember with thanksgiving what God has done through His servant Janet. Janet Kay Wendzel of Bagley, IA, daughter of George and Evelyn Gregar, was born on April 17, 1949 in Mauston, WI. She was baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit on May 28, 1949. She confessed her baptismal faith in the rite of Confirmation on July 22, 1962 and received the precious gift of The Lord's Supper. She graduated from Necedah High School in 1967 and earned her bachelor's degree from Wisconsin State University at Steven's Point in home economics and later went on to become a registered dietician. She was united in holy marriage to the Rev. Linden Wendzel on February 7, 1981 at Zion Lutheran in Clyman, WI. Together they were blessed with the gift of three children, Paul, Heather and Nathan. God blessed Janet's life with many special people as she served the Lord in her vocations at home, church and in the community. She always put others before herself. God gave her many talents, but knitting and baking was what she liked to do the most. She loved to knit blankets, hats and sweaters for her grandchildren and for those in need. With her husband by her side, on October 18, 2016, God called Janet home to heaven to await the resurrection of the dead. She is survived by her husband Linden; brothers Fred (Missie) of Necedah, WI, and Tom (Sandy) of Tomah, WI; her three children, Paul (Jeri) of Granger, IA, Heather Dickson (Brad) of Stuart, IA and Nathan (Alyssa) of Ankeny, IA; seven grandchildren, Alexandria Wendzel, Jocelyn Wendzel, Aliyah Dickson, Jayden Dickson, Payton Dickson, Walter Wendzel and Dorothy Wendzel.
