Dorothy E. Janssen, age 92 of Grand Marsh, died Thursday, June 17, 2004 at Adams County Memorial Nursing Care Unit in Friendship.

Mrs. Janssen was born on November 8, 1911 in Butler County, Iowa, to Henry and Grace (Baumgartner) Kramer. She attended high school in Mankato, Minn., and then went to Iowa State Teacher’s College in Cedar Falls, Iowa. She began teaching in Cleves, Iowa, and there met and married John Janssen on September 15, 1933. They moved to Minnesota where she taught all eight grades in a one-room school. Later she taught for many years in the Spooner, WI school district and in the Adams-Friendship school district where she taught 4th grade. Many of her former students will remember the puppets they made in her class and the stage where they put on puppet shows. She was especially proud that she had been able to teach her son, Martin, and all four of her Grandsons in 4th grade before retiring.

She also enjoyed painting, gardening, flowers, and playing the piano and organ. She was a member of the retired teachers association.

She was preceded in death by her husband John, sister Janet and brother Robert.

Her son Martin (Carole) Janssen, four Grandsons James, David (Kristin), William (Cheri), and Christopher (Cheri), and seven Great Grandchildren, a sister Ruth (Robert) Lovgren and brother Donald Kramer survive her.
