2019 May 18 - Marion, Ohio - Janet Nellie Vander Jagt was born Friday 4 Mar 1921 in Wexford County, Michigan to Peter & Lulu 'Pearl' (Wilcox) Vander Jagt, one of three daughters. Growing up everyone in her family endearingly knew her as "June". She married Clarence Riley Laizure Tuesday 26 Dec 1952 in Cadillac. After their divorce she married the love of her life, James Marion Mitchell, Wednesday 5 Nov 1947. Together they shared 37 years of marriage. In addition to being a homemaker, she helped her husband with the operations of their business, Mitchell Fire Extinguishers, in Cadillac, Michigan. She also worked as a cook at the Caberfae Peaks Ski & Golf Resort. Having a love the great outdoors, they lived across the street from Lake Mitchell and they would take their boat out several times a week during the summer months to fish. A few times a year they went out on Lake Michigan with friends fishing for bigger catches. They also enjoyed snowmobiling and camping at different sites throughout the beautiful state of Michigan. A great cook, Janet's family was especially loved whenever they would smoke the fresh salmon they recently caught. She lived in Cadillac until 2010, when she moved to Marion, Ohio, to be nearer to her daughter, Deborah Brown. She will be remembered as a strong, independent woman who cared deeply for her family in her own way.
