Irmgard Kordula Jansen

Irma Jansen, 89, of Shawano, was called to her heavenly home on Oct. 7, 2014. Irma was born Feb. 20, 1925, to Paul and Gertrude Genke, of Merrill. The family later moved to the Hayes/Suring area to run the family farm. Irma attended school in Suring, graduating from Suring High School. After World War II, Irma married Quentin “Buck” Jansen, of Suring. Irma worked in Milwaukee while Buck attended MSOE. They both moved to Shawano to pursue Buck’s business interests and start a family. Irma was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, living every day spending time with, caring for and loving her family. Irma’s children (Gary, Bob, Sue, Kris) and all who knew her caring, big heart will miss her earthly presence. Irma was an avid Packers fan watching every game as the coach’s assistant. She was a spiritual person, singing favorite hymns until the end. Gunderson Lutheran Hospice allowed Irma the journey she wanted, dignity, comfort and spirituality. Thanks to the nurses, music therapist, chaplains, and health aides. Greatly missed, yet fondly remembered.
