Funeral services will be held on Thursday, August 14, 2008, at the Rock Creek Lutheran Church, 3269 Foothill Avenue, Osage, with Rev. R. Dawson Tornes officiating.

She and Erling returned for their retirement to Mason City in 1979. After Erling's death in 1999, Janette returned to her home town of Osage. Janette loved her Lord, and her family was very dear to her heart. She will be missed so very much by her family and everyone who knew her.
Janette is survived by four children, Elon (Judy) Dahley of Mason City, Wayne Dahley of Rockwell, Corinne (Ron) Gambach of Cedar Rapids, Richard (Jeanne) Dahley of Osage; a son-in-law, Bob Frein of Osage; as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one new great-great-granddaughter. She is also survived by her brother, Odell (Alice) Forslund of Forest City.
