With heavy hearts, the family of Janet Lucille (née Towalt) Lissel announce her passing on April 2, 2025.She was 83 years of age. Janet, the seventh of ten children born to August and Emilie Torwalt, entered the world on September 28, 1941, in Jansen, Saskatchewan.

Janet and Don eventually moved back to Leroy, where they took over the family farm and worked tirelessly to support their family and community. She dedicated many years working at the Leroy School before joining Schulte Industries in Englefeld, where she made lasting friendships.
