Janet was born December 1, 1933, in Chatsworth, the daughter of Frank and Edna Hilgendorf.
Throughout her life, she was faced with challenges, but her strength and belief in God carried her through. She was a member of the Loda Lutheran Church and the Loda American Legion Women’s Auxiliary. Janet and Bob loved going to watch Paul play basketball when he was in high school. They also enjoyed having fish and wild game frys with their close friends.
She leaves behind to remember her love that still remains strong, her daughter, Debbie Henricks-Camp of Lincoln and her son, Paul (Shelley) Lindauer of Lake Iroquois, Loda. She also leaves behind her grandchildren Mandy Emberton of Groveland, Georgia, Dustin (Brittany) Camp and Justin (Michelle) Camp, all of Lincoln, Logan Lindauer of Champaign, Billy (Melissa) Wheeler of Texas; seven great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
Going before her to save a place in Heaven for her were her husband, Bob Lindauer; one son, Steven (Tubs) Henricks; daughter, Laura (Dude) Henricks; her parents, Frank and Edna Hilgendorf and her brothers, Roy (Margaret) Hilgendorf and Jim (Betty Lou) Hilgendorf.
Rest in peace, mama and enjoy eternity with no pain. We love you.

I knew Janet from the friendship she had with my sister, Joyce DeAtley, Janet and my sister, Joyce DeAtley, were close friends for many years. I have not seen Janet for several years, since I now live in Arizona. However, I know that Joyce will miss her and I remember the long walks they used to take in the summer evenings. The times they shared as friends were good for both of them. My deepest sympathy to Janet's family.

Paul, I have very fond memories of your mom. I am sending my love and hugs to you and all from Texas. My dad always said , he saw a name in the newspaper and liked it so much, that is where I got my name. I believe I was named after your mom.

What a sweet lady. One of my earliest jobs was waitressing at the Pool Hall with Jan, Charlotte Eichelberger and my Aunt Josephine Atkins. I was only 15 yrs old and these 3 ladies were excellent at their jobs. I enjoyed my time with them and loved learning from them. Through Jan I ended up babysitting with Debbie’s children—Jan’s granddaughter and twin grandsons. I loved spending time with them as Kids were then and still are now a big part of my life. Paul was young so I got to see him grow up through Jan and Bob’s bringing him around and sharing his sports stories etc. My mom worked with Laura “Dude” so I was fortunate to know her also. A nice family that I’m glad I got to meet. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
