Janet Elizabeth (Hansen) Weisensel, age 58, entered her eternal home on Sunday, August 27, 2017 after a short battle with cancer. She was surrounded by a large loving family. Janet was born May 2, 1959 in Chicago to Ralph and Elizabeth Hansen. She graduated from Hammond Indiana High School in 1977 and attended Indiana University and Concordia University.
Janet's greatest passion was her family, especially her children. Her outspoken honesty and self-assured personality endeared her to her husband. Her adventuresome spirit and fun-loving nature endeared her to everyone. Her sensitivity and caring heart made her successful in her many careers. Jan's leisure time revolved around her love for cooking and the great outdoors; fishing, hunting and gardening. The holidays were always festive as she loved to decorate, especially for Christmas.
She is survived by her husband, Daniel J. Weisensel of Sun Prairie: children D.J. and Bailey Chapelle; step-children; and grandchildren; her mother Elizabeth Hansen of Lake Forest, IL; brothers, Ralph (Joyce), Steve (Lynda), Jim, and Damian; her sister Susan Handlin (Douglas); and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father Ralph Howard Hansen Sr.; her brothers William Robert Sr. and Paul Allen; and sister-in-law Nicki Hansen.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 31, 2017 at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in East Bristol, Father Alex Carmel will preside. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 30 at the Tuschen-Newcomer Funeral Home, 302 Columbus St., Sun Prairie, and from 9 a.m. until the time of Mass Thursday at the Church.
Jan's family would like to extend a thank you for all the support from friends and family especially Susan Handlin.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials be made to St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 1935 County Rd. V, Sun Prairie, 53590.

My thoughts and prayers go out to my Aunt Betty and my Hansen cousins. I know that Janet was met with open arms by those that love her on the other side. I am sure that the reunion with her dad, Bill, and Paul was a sweet one, although bittersweet for those of us who mourn her loss. I will miss her sweet posts to her mother and her spunky personality. Love you cousin! Till we all meet again!

I knew Janet in High School. She was a year older than me. She was so much fun and outgoing! She was so full of life and I am so sad to hear she passed away so young. I raise money every year for cancer research so others will have more time here with loved ones. Their are so many who loved her so. Again my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
with love,
Susie

As DJ' First Grade teacher, I was deeply saddened to learn of your mother's death. The minute I saw her picture in the newspaper, I well remembered that beautiful-eyed lady and her two creative children! I am so sorry that your mother had to suffer and I am so sorry for your loss. You were a special student of mine and your pain is mine!
May all of Janet's family continue to carry on in her memory as she would want. Please accept my deepest condolences.

It is hard to put into words the sadness I am feeling over the loss of my dear sister Janet. I know so many others are equally as heartbroken as I am. She was such a happy and vibrant person. I have so many memories of her throughout her entire life. I recall vividly when she was still a baby and contracted a Staff infection and the Doctor's told our parents she was not going to survive. Well she surprised them. Janet is a wonderful wife to Dan and an adoring mother to DJ and Bailey. She will be greatly missed but I know she is already having fun in Heaven with her father, Ralph, Sr. her brothers... Paul and William... and all our family who were there to greet her.
God Bless her and all those she loved in return !

Dear Family of Janet, I would like to express my most sincere sympathy and condolences on the loss of your beautiful mother, daughter, wife, sister, aunt Janet. I met Janet back in the 1960's and grew up with her in the old Edison School Hammond neighborhood. I have many fond memories of playing at the schoolyard and later in High School; taking 'lunch time' rides in her dad's then new Buick LaSabre. :) Those were great times I will forever cherish. God bless you and your family during this difficult time and always.
