Janet M. Mohr, 92, of Van Wert, Ohio, passed away peacefully on July 7, 2026, in Pendleton, Indiana. She was born on January 7, 1934, in Venedocia, Ohio, to Luther and Starley Williams, who preceded her in death.

On October 22, 1955, Janet married Byron Mohr. Together they shared 67 wonderful years of marriage before Byron's passing. Janet was also preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Melody Hicks; her brother, Haydn Williams; and her brothers- and sisters-in-law, David Mohr, Bob Stripe, Bill Fast, Dean Lichtensteiger, Bev and Phil Zimmerman, and Gloria Fast.

Janet is survived by her son, Marc L. Mohr (Jill) of Lapel, Indiana. She also leaves behind her grandchildren: Megan (Tom) Starnes of Brownsburg, Indiana; Ashley Foster of Fort Wayne, Indiana; Evan (Kaitlin) Mohr of Georgetown, Kentucky; Isaac Mohr of Pendleton, Indiana; Cade (Lily) Mohr of Pendleton, Indiana; Mark (Amy) Hicks of Chicago, Illinois; and Tim Hicks of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

She was a proud and loving great-grandmother to Madden and Macy Starnes; Jaret (Taylor) Starnes; Sierra and Samantha Foster; Brooks and Berkley Mohr; Grace Adams; and Jerzy Hicks. Her family was her greatest joy, and she treasured every opportunity to spend time with them.

Janet graduated from Van Wert High School and began her career as a secretary at Central Mutual Insurance Company. She later served the citizens of Van Wert as Deputy Clerk of the Van Wert Municipal Court, where she worked faithfully for 20 years.

Service to her community was one of Janet's greatest passions. She volunteered tirelessly as a Camp Fire Girls leader, was an active member of Twigs, and served on the YWCA Board of Directors for ten years. Janet established the YWCA travel program as a unique fundraiser and spent 43 years organizing and leading tours that raised thousands of dollars to support YWCA programs. She was also a faithful member of Trinity Global Methodist Church, where her faith and servant's heart were evident throughout her life.

Janet took immense pride in her family's rich heritage. As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, she devoted years to researching her Revolutionary War ancestry. Her extensive genealogical work uncovered family members who helped establish America in the 1600s, earning her the distinguished title of Grand Dame. She was equally proud of her Welsh heritage, traveling to Wales to meet relatives and sharing her knowledge through presentations on Welsh traditions. Salem Presbyterian Church in Venedocia, along with the friends and family connected to her Welsh roots, always held a special place in her heart.

Janet will be remembered for her unwavering faith, generous spirit, dedication to family, commitment to her community, and love of history and heritage. Through her volunteer work, leadership, kindness, and encouragement, she enriched the lives of countless people. Her legacy of service, compassion, and devotion to family will continue to inspire all who knew and loved her.
