Janet Marie Fleisher's Obituary
Janet Marie Fleisher, 80, of Washington Court House, OH passed away Wednesday, February 28, 2018 at Riverside Hospital in Columbus with her family and loved ones by her side.
Born November 22, 1937 in Deer Run, WV, she was the daughter of the late Pearl and Iscie Rexrode. The youngest of four children, she was preceded in death by a brother, Ralph Rexrode and a sister, Erma Mitchell.
On March 31, 1956, she married Curtis Fleisher in her home church. Their son, David, was born in 1965 when the couple lived in Millersport, OH. The family ultimately moved to Washington Court House in 1969, when Curtis became principal of Miami Trace High School.
Janet was a lifelong church member and was active in church choirs and various church women organizations. At the time of her passing, she was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Circleville, Ohio and an associate member of Fellowship Lutheran Church in Columbus. She was a firm believer that God granted her strength, courage and endurance throughout her life. She trusted in God's will for her, held tightly to her faith and never gave up.
Janet was active in the New Holland Lioness Club for more than twenty years. She actively supported her husband and son in their professional and organizational pursuits. Although shy by nature, she firmly and steadfastly supported her family, encouraging her husband and son to pursue their goals and dreams, and provided the necessary support for them to achieve those goals and dreams.
Janet could literally bring dying plants back to life. She had an extraordinary talent for nurturing beautiful plants and gardens. One plant obtained from her mother-in-law when Janet was a young woman and now more than 70 years old, is now a permanent part of the Nationwide Insurance home office atrium gardens.
She was a gracious lady who enjoyed selecting cards and gifts for those she cared about. She maintained a humble elegance and appreciated any kindness shown her. Even when not feeling well, she made certain to look her best at all times and was her family's sounding board, their rock, inspiration and role model.
Janet is survived by -
Curtis, her husband and true love of 61 years
David (& Mike McKinley), her son
Herald Rexrode, her brother
Becky Bloomer, her dear friend
Many friends and extended family around the country
And her beloved dog "Skippy"
