Janet M. Schuessler

Schuessler, Janet M. (nee Delue). Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Thursday, May 15, 2025. Dear wife of the late David Schuessler, mother of her 2 late sons, Dale and Daniel, and of her devoted daughter and caregiver, Joyce (Denton) Bloodworth. Dear daughter of the late Leo and Marie Delue, sister of James and Ann Delue. She will be missed by many including her confidant & most loved bff Karen Bruskin. Janet was born November 25, 1944, Baptized at Holy Family Church, went to St Pius grade school and graduated from Cleveland High school in St Louis, MO., where she met and later married the love of her life, Dave Schuessler on June 22, 1963. Soon their little nest of 2 grew to 5 with the arrivals of Dale, Daniel and Joyce. Life was usual for a growing family……trials, tribulations, smiles & tears. The years flew by leaving a trail of hopes & dreams, but also loss & sadness. Entering into her retirement years without her “men”, Janet decided to move closer to Joyce in Kentucky, so the move was on in 2005. Janet and Joyce were the queens of bargain hunting. Janet always loved to read, so now she had the time to enjoy her books. But as time travels on, aging has a tendency to begin its descent upon people and as her 80th birthday was approaching, she suffered a mild stroke, which didn’t stop her on her birthday celebration, just slowed her down a tad. Unfortunately, an insidious cancer was growing quietly which reared its ugly head in January. For the last several months, she fought the good fight against her painful journey, along with her devoted daughter, friend Donna Vaughn and her hospice team, esp her nurse JJ, of whom the family would like to express their heartful gratitude to. She will be missed by many On May 15, leaving her pain & suffering behind, Janet winged her way into the arms of her God, her husband, sons, & parents. May she have a huge smile when they greet her.
