Janet Kusel

Janet Edith Kusel went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 24, 2020 after a long battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Janet was born on May 22, 1946 in Penticton, British Columbia , Canada to the late William and Hilda Dobbie. Her family immigrated to California in 1957. She graduated from Redlands High School and has maintained lifelong friendships from her early years.

Janet is survived by her husband of 52 years, Dr. Jimie Kusel; her brother, Bob Dobbie and wife, Estelle, of San Dimas, California; nephews, John Michael Dobbie (Serena) of Alta Loma, California and Scott Shacklett (Valerie) of Ontario, California; niece, Sandra Riffel (Mark Digirolamo) of San Dimas; and other family and friends.

Janet enjoyed a lifelong career in healthcare. Throughout her life she continued to grow and learn about the world around her. Much of her growth was experienced with the group of ladies in both her travel club and book club. Along with shared experiences, Janet shared many of her happiest moments with these special ladies. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Little Rock and used the lessons she learned to view all around her in their best light.

Janet and her family would like to thank the staff at Parkway Village for their loving care and support. She will always be remembered by her vivacious smile and her encouragement of others.
