Janet Senne

Janet Senne, of Sandusky, a woman of many interests and involvements, died peacefully at Portland Place December 3. She was 94 years old.

She was born January 8, 1921 to Francis and Norma Kuhn in Tiffin, Ohio.

A graduate of Heidelberg University in Tiffin, she originally came to Sandusky for work as a draftsman during World War Two. Following her marriage to Donald on May 1, 1949, she turned her attention to child rearing and community engagements.

As a continuous member of Grace Episcopal Church, she served as a volunteer and longtime manager of its Thrift Shop. With the help of supportive friends, she actively attended services until recent weeks.

Janet's involvement in local cultural and historical groups was widespread and enduring. She was a multi decade member of the Erie County Historical Society. And, in no particular order of priority, was also a longstanding member of AAUW, the Old House Guild, the Follett House Museum, Puppeteers of America, and Serving Our Seniors.
In creative pursuit of her historic interests, she often provided live character portrayals of notable women in church and local history.

Additionally, for many years she manned and promoted the Historical Pavilion at the Erie County Fairgrounds, and assisted Don delivering Meals on Wheels.

Still further, she was a Campfire Girl leader and avid puppeteer, providing countless performances for church and community groups.

She is lovingly survived by her son, Steven (Judi) Senne; son-in-law, Tom Stuck; grandchildren, Jolyn (Blair) Russell, Jacob (Elisha) Stuck, Michael (Amy) Stuck, Ann (Craig) Murray and Rachel Stuck; great-grandchildren Keane, Syden and Palen Russell; Henry Stuck; Nolan, Graham, and Paige Murray
She was preceded in death this year by Donald Senne, her husband of 65 years, a daughter, Mary Stuck, in 2006, and brothers, Robert Kuhn and James Kuhn

A memorial service will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, December 11, 2015, in Grace Episcopal Church, 315 Wayne St., Sandusky. The Rev. Jan Smith Wood will officiate.

Memorial contributions in Janet's name may be made to Grace Episcopal Church, or to Serving our Seniors, 310 E. Boalt St., Sandusky, OH 44870.

Toft Funeral Home & Crematory, 2001 Columbus Ave., Sandusky, is handling the arrangements.
