ELIDA — Janet Eisele Schultheis, 85, beloved wife of Martin went to be with the lord on April 4.

She was born the daughter of Cecil and Mildred Burns in Martinez, California, on Dec. 29, 1932.

She graduated from Alhambra High School and she was crowned Miss Martinez at 19. She was an avid Bridge player and volunteered her time as a tax aide with AARP. She was a master of sewing, quilting and gifted us with many treasures we will hold dear forever.

She lived her life to the fullest and showed us how to be a strong and independent. She was the number one 49er fan, beat Polio and fought cancer with a positive attitude until the very end. Her spirit will live on in all of us forever. She touched everyone she met with a smile on her face and love in her heart. We love you so much. Heaven has another Angel watching over us.

Janet is survived by sons, Michael (Marion) and Robert (Loretta); and daughters, Karen (Geoff) and Paula (Josh); two step-daughters, Laura (James) and Joy (Keith); 10 grandchildren; and six great grandchildren.

She was also preceded in death by her siblings, Jeanne Brady, Merv and Jack Burns.

A Funeral Service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday at Trinity United Methodist Church, 211 E Third St, Delphos, the Rev. Rich Rakay presiding. There will be a calling hour at 10 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Debs Dogs.
