On March 9, 1939 in Minneapolis, MN, Janet was born to parents Hugh Wallace and Dorothy Evelyn (Herbst) Brumbaugh. She graduated from West High School in Minneapolis. Janet furthered her education at St Mary’s School of Nursing, Rochester, MN, where she attained a degree as a Registered Nurse. Janet loved being a nurse and helping her patients and their families. For over 30 years, Janet worked as a nurse in Shakopee, at St Francis Hospital’s Emergency Room and at Sundance Medical Clinic. She also started the hospice program for the hospital. In later years, Janet also worked as a hospice nurse providing home care for patients in the Hackensack, MN area.
Janet’s passion in life was being a wife, mother and grandma. She married William Chalmers in October of 1960. They were blessed with four children, Julie, Jeff, David and Dawnelle. Unfortunately, they parted ways. Janet’s life was once again enriched in love. She married Francis Daniel Poehler on February 18, 1984 and welcomed his son, Brian into her life. Together, they enjoyed time spent at Lazy Lane Lodge, on Webb Lake in Hackensack, MN. Here, Janet and Fran owned and operated the resort originally owned by his parents. She enjoyed her wild flower gardens and creating precious memories with the grandchildren, especially with parades on Fourth of July. For several years, Janet and Fran lived in Arizona, where she enjoyed socializing and participating in activities with friends.
An amazing and compassionate caregiver, Janet relished assuring her family, friends and patients that their needs would always be met. She had such a warm and welcoming personality. Janet will forever remain in the hearts of her husband, Fran; children, Julie (Larry) Larson, Jeff (Julie Martin) Chalmers, David (Kim) Chalmers, Dawnelle (Rick) D’Aoust, Brian (Andrea) Poehler; grandchildren, Kirsa (fiancé Niels Haenebalcke) Larson, Kevin (Zoe) Larson, Shelby Chalmers, Lucas Martin, Luana Martin, Mariana Martin, Jacob Chalmers, Laura Chalmers, James D’Aoust, Marina D’Aoust, Alyssa Poehler, Micaella Poehler, Ryan Poehler, Alexandra Poehler; sister, JoAnn (Robert) Hilton; other relatives and friends.
Greeting Janet home in Heaven are her parents, Hugh & Dorothy; and sister, Joyce (Harlan) Hauskins.
