Janet Rankin
November 10, 1948 — December 4, 2024
Rich Hill, Missouri
Janet L. Rankin, 76, passed away from health complications on December 4, 2024 at Freeman Hospital. She was born November 10, 1948 to Violet Maxine (Snow) Issacson and Irvin Isaacson. Janet graduated from Rich Hill, Mo in 1966.
Following graduation, she married James Walter Rankin in November of 1967 and settled in Foster, Missouri. They celebrated 52 years of marriage prior to his passing in 2020. During that time, Janet worked as a school bus driver for the Rich Hill School department and then at the Hospital in Butler, Missouri until she retired.
She was a devoted member of the United Methodist Church. Janet enjoyed crafts and cooking, believing that so long as the family was fed and happy, all things could be accomplished. She oftentimes could be found in the kitchen making sweet treats, out in the pecan grove picking up pecans, or reading a book. She also enjoyed camping and being at the lake with her husband and family when the weather permitted.
Surviving her are her son, Jared L. Rankin and his wife, Janett L. (Nachbar) Rankin of Moundville, Mo. One granddaughter, Dr. Janessa L. Rankin of Colorado Springs, CO, as well as three great grandchildren, Kinsley J. Rankin, Kaiden J. Rankin and Jayden D. Rankin. She is also survived by her beloved adopted fur-child, Thumper, of Nevada, Missouri.
A memorial will be held at 2PM on December 14, 2024, at the Heuser Funeral Home, Rich Hill, Missouri. Visitation will be held from 1:30 pm until service time. Those who wish to remember Janet and pay their respects in a special way may make gifts in her memory to United Methodist Church in Hume, Missouri. Arrangements by Heuser Funeral Home.
