Janet Sue Wohlgemut, a devoted missionary and beloved community member, passed away on September 22, 2024, after a months-long battle with Wegener’s disease, surrounded by her family. Originally from Oklahoma, Janet dedicated nearly twenty years to serving the Abelam people group in Papua New Guinea, where she was known for her vibrant spirit and multifaceted talents.
Friends and family remember her for her musical contributions and her open home, which often welcomed students and youth. "I loved Janet’s zest for life and I know her smile will be greatly missed," shared AngelaStar Duncan. Janet is survived by her husband, Gordon, two sons, and seven grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held on September 29, 2024, at the Ethnos360 Recreation Center in Roach, MO, with a graveside service planned for the immediate family at a later date.
