Brasier, Janet B. (5 AUG 1940 – 2 SEP 2014)

Janet Barbara Brecht was born on Aug. 5, 1940, in Milwaukee, to Peter Sr. and Velma (nee Vogel) Brecht. When she was a young girl, her family moved to Loyal, where she attended St. Anthony Catholic School and graduated from Loyal High School in 1959. Janet married Darwin A. Brasier on Oct. 17, 1959, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Loyal. While raising a family, Janet worked for many years at the Roundy's Store in Loyal. She later worked as a cook at the Catholic school, and drove over-the-road truck with her husband. Janet retired and resided at home for the past several years, due to her declining health. She attended Sunday Mass as often as her health would allow -- her faith was very important to her. She had many interests, but especially loved her dogs -- Tobie, Tassie, Teddy, Peppy and Lady. She also enjoyed camping, snowmobiling, riding motorcycle, tending honeybees and volunteering for the House of the Dove in Marshfield.

She will be dearly missed by her husband, Darwin, Loyal; three daughters, Kim (Dave) LaBarge, Loyal, Laura Brasier, Marshfield, and Dana (fiancé Brian Wills) Frost, Wisconsin Rapids; five grandchildren, Shannon (Mark) Engevold, Marshfield, Sarah (Jason) Cornell, Bellevue, Neb., David (Mindy) LaBarge, Madison, Mason Frost, Marshfield, and Morgan Frost, Oshkosh; seven great-grandchildren, Nevada, Elizabeth, Taylor, Izaiha, Avrey, Trevor and Kacie; one sister, Marilyn Redig, Loyal; one brother, Peter Jr. (Karyn) Brecht, Loyal; and nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Betty Zarnke.
