Janet Weyandt

Janet Irene (Badger) Weyandt died on February 25, 2023, surrounded by her daughters. She was 90. She was born on April 10, 1932 in Champaign-Urbana, IL, to Cecil and Wintress (Dunn) Maguire. At age 5 she was adopted by her stepfather, Alfred E. Badger. The family moved to Maumee in 1946 and Janet graduated from Maumee High School in 1950, where she sang in the choir and played field hockey. She attended the University of Toledo for two years and was President of her pledge class of Alpha Omicron Pi.

Janet married William Weyandt in Maumee on July 17, 1954, and they enjoyed over 66 years together before his passing in 2021. After her marriage she worked as a secretary for Owens-Illinois, until 1958 when the couple settled into their Maumee home and raised their daughters. In 1974 Janet went back to work for Maumee City Schools, serving as the guidance office secretary at Gateway Middle School until 1995. In 2018 the couple moved to Perrysburg.

In retirement she enjoyed gathering with her friends, walking her dogs, travel, reading mysteries, and watching the Detroit Tigers. She had a dry sense of humor and did not suffer fools gladly! Her macaroni and cheese was legendary, and she was a lifelong University of Illinois fan. She was full of love and pride for her children and grandchildren.

Janet was predeceased by her parents, her brother Mick Maguire, and her husband Bill. She is survived by her daughters Lisa (Mike) Tippin of Elyria, OH, and Robin (Bill) McConnell of Perrysburg, and grandchildren Kaitlin Tippin, Kelly (Alex) LaHote, Melissa (Michael) Moyseenko, Erin McConnell (Connor Panyko), and Ryan McConnell. She is also survived by great-grandchildren Jackson, Connor, Charlotte, and Tyler.

Private services will be held in Maumee at a later date as Bill and Jan are interred together. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Toledo Humane Society.
