Obituary: Janet Louise Nott

Janet Louise Nott, 84 of Galion, passed away on July 23, 2024, at Millcreek Nursing Home in Galion. Janet was born on November 3, 1939, in Pontiac, MI to the late Fredrick and Naomi (Blodgett) Bredow, being one of thirteen children.

Janet was a caregiver by nature, leading to her career in healthcare. She worked for Chelsea United Methodist Home in Chelsea, MI from which she retired. Janet possessed a multitude of talents and interests that brought joy to many. From her masterful sewing and crocheting skills to her green thumb in the garden, she always had a knack for creating beauty in the world around her. Her passion for fishing, camping, and preserving nature through canning brought her immense happiness, as did treating her children to special delights.

With a deep appreciation for family ties, Janet held her loved ones close to her heart. Whether she was embarking on adventures with her dear friends, Vickie Osborne and Beckie Carlson, during their annual road trips or seeking out the excitement of the casino, Janet’s zest for life was infectious. Her quick wit and unapologetic honesty endeared her to many, always speaking her mind with a refreshing candor that was uniquely her own.

Left to cherish Janet’s memories are her children; Laura Neifer of Owosso, MI, John (Jill) Neifer of Kettering and Lynda (Dan) Teutschmann of Galion, 9 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and her sisters; Mildred (Larry) Johnson of Traverse City, MI and Mina Bahan of Lincoln, CA.

In addition to her parents, Janet was preceded in death by her first husband and father of her children, John Neifer, her second husband, William “Rick” Nott, her children; Jeffrey and Jennifer Neifer; great-grandchild, Dayton Skriba; her brothers; Russell, Gordon, Gilbert, Richard, Fred, Kenneth and Rudolph Bredow; and sisters; Evelyn Urbonovich, Marie Zuck and Shirley Huntoon.

A celebration of life will be held in Stockbridge, MI and will be announced at a later date with burial to follow at Oak Lawn Cemetery in Stockbridge, MI.

Memorial contributions may be made to Harrison Moose Lodge and Family Center #2235 of Harrison, MI.
