Janie Marie was born June 23, 1945 in Winnebago MN to Clarence and Ann (Weir) Mead. The family then moved to St. Peter where she attended John Ireland School, then graduated from St. Peter High School in 1963. She worked at the St. Peter Library, and later for over 40 years in the administrative offices at the St. Peter State Hospital. Janie was very active throughout her life in sports, especially softball and volleyball. She was also artistic: drawing, painting and creating cards to send to friends. She loved her family, especially traveling and spending time with her sister Rose. Left to remember Janie are her siblings: Harold (Pat), Greg (Connie), Rose, and Larry (Kathy); sister-in-law Carol; many niblings, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; and brothers: Charles "Tim" and Fr. Leland.

The family wishes to thank Ecumen Prairie Hill and Ecumen Hospice for their loving care of Janie.
