Ginger Louis (Hartman) Janssen, 59, died at 11:06 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 3, 2023, at HSHS St. John's Hospital in Springfield.
Funeral services will begin at 12 noon on Saturday, Aug. 12, at Hough Funeral Home in Raymond, with Pastor Ron Butler officiating. Visitation for friends and family will be from 10 a.m. until the time of the service.
Mrs. Janssen was born on Oct. 25, 1963, in Hillsboro, the daughter of Harold and Helen (Allen) Hartman. She attended school in Raymond and later attended school at Barron Collier High in Naples, FL, where she graduated with the class of 1982.
She married Dalbert Janssen in Raymond on March 21, 1986, which later ended in divorce.
She was an avid lover of cats and was known for feeding and caring for any cat that came to her doorstep. She was a compassionate soul who would often care for those around her who were in need, making a career of her caring nature as a Macoupin County Health Department and CEFS in Hillsboro as a transport driver.
She had served as an EMT for the Raymond-Harvel Ambulance Service for many years and had worked as a waitress for several area restaurants.
Many of her favorite pastimes included going to the beach, traveling to Branson, MO, and Knoxville, TN, and watching and attending any Cardinal game. Most of all, she was the happiest when she was able to spend time with her beloved grandchildren and family. She will be greatly missed by all the people whose lives she touched.
She is survived by her sons, Chris Janssen of Raymond, and Matt (Tasha) Janssen of Virden; two grandsons, Kyndall and Koltyn Janssen, both of Raymond; two sisters, Cheryl Hartman of Florida and Amy (husband Steve) Zimmerly of Missouri; and her “partner in crime,” Randy Mullen of Hillsboro, and his daughter Chelsea Mullen.
She is now reunited in heaven with her beautiful daughter, Dana Marie Janssen, who preceded her on Nov. 8, 2014, her parents; a brother, Gary; and her former husband Dalbert.
Memorial donations can be sent to Hough Funeral Home in Raymond. Condolences to the family maybe left at www.houghfuneralhome.com.
