died Thursday evening (Dec. 19th, 2013)
in the Fremont Area Medical Center.
Janet was born in Fremont on April 19, 1952 in Fremont, the daughter of Melvin and Myrtle (Eckert) Sandeen. She lived all her life in Fremont and graduated from Fremont High School in 1971. On March 14, 1975, Janet was married in Fremont to Harold D. Johnson.
Janet was a life-long member of the First Christian Church and taught Sunday School for over 30 years. She was a very caring and nurturing person. Although unable to be a mother, Janet had the natural instincts of motherhood. She unselfishly loved and cared for all the children who crossed her path in life including many nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. Although she cared for and supported her husband throughout their marriage, she especially took care of him as needed while he has been living in assisted living facilities the last 3 years.

It's been so long ago, but I even think we were in Sunday school for a while at FCC.....then I moved across town and attended Lincoln Avenue Church. I'm so sad to hear of her leaving our world but I know she will live in our hearts forever. She was so kind & sweet, I know she will be missed but I also know she has touched many lives!!

Las Vegas, NV Monday, December 23, 2013 Was saddened to hear of the news of Janet's passing. Also being a near life-long member of FCC in Fremont, we pretty much grew up together.Whenever we would visit our Church in Fremont, Janet was always there, with at least one or two children in the pew. We would always have a chat after the service, made brief due to her charges needing her attention. But she always made time, time that revealed her quiet kindness.
God rest you, Janet. You will be missed.

Columbus, NE Monday, December 23, 2013 Sorry to hear on Janet's passing. I found her dedication to teaching Sunday School quite interesting. My guess she loved all of her students over the years. She was certainly a Lamb of God. Peace be with you as you mourn her death.Don & Diane Bell
