Janet Ann Rondeau
Janet Ann Rondeau, 77, of Cooks, passed away at UP Health Systems Marquette, July 12, 2022. She was born October 19, 1944, in Alpena, the daughter of Edward Andrew and Helen (Szymanski) Stema. She attended school in Posen, graduating with the class of 1963.
Janet married the love of her life (they were rarely apart) Terry Gordon Rondeau in Posen October 26, 1963. Janet was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. She enjoyed cooking, canning and baking. She was known for her U-pick strawberries, blueberries and raspberries at Rondeau’s Ruff Acres, and enjoyed taking her produce to a number of farmers’ markets and her roadside stand. Janet spent the greater part of her life in Cooks. She was a devoted Jehovah’s Witness and attended Kingdom Hall in Manistique. Every morning Janet and Terry read a Scripture after breakfast.
She may have gone to your home encouraging you to read the Bible. Janet was friendly, fun to be with, had a great sense of humor and was very down-to-earth. She cherished her children, grandchildren, and great-grandson.
