Janet R. Langteau, 87, of Chippewa Falls, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, June 16, 2022, at the Chippewa Manor Apartments while under the care of St. Joseph’s Hospice.

She was born October 20, 1934, in Medford, WI to Julius and Ruth (Potter) Doberstein.

On July 11, 1953, she married Leonard L.

Janet loved to care for her flower garden, read, knit, crochet, and spend time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She had a strong faith and was active in her church groups at Christ Lutheran and Faith Lutheran Church.
