Janet Irene (Spickler) Tomas

Janet Irene Tomas, 69, of Chetek, went to be with her Lord and Saviour on February 27, 2021 after a long battle with a neurological disease.  She was born on April 8, 1951 to Benjamin and Nora (Dersham) Spickler.  She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.  She will be remembered for her contagious smile and giggle, sweet spirit, and Godly testimony.  She will be greatly missed. 

Janet grew up in Mifflinburg, PA, and accepted Christ as her Saviour at a young age of 8.  She graduated from Mifflinburg High School in 1969 and later went on to be a secretary at Bob Jones University.  She met and later married Mark Tomas, a dairy farmer in Wisconsin, on June 5, 1976.  They farmed together in Hollandale, WI until 2003, and then moved to Chetek.  Janet was a beloved wife and mother.  She was a faithful member of Calvary Baptist Church in Barron, WI.
