She was 68 years old. Janet Elaine (Minnich) Roselle was born on November 23, 1955, to the late John and Dorothy (Schope) Minnich. She has resided in Saginaw all her life. She married David D. Roselle on March 18, 1978, and were married for 46 years. David survives her. They had two children together, Zachary D. Roselle, who preceded her in death on November 29, 2018. She also has a daughter, Carly (McKenzie) Holm of Saginaw, and one granddog named Maverick. She had three siblings, Kay (Allen) Reed, Anne Minnich, and Dale Minnich, who preceded her in death. She is survived by loving in-laws, nieces, nephews and a host of long-time friends. A 1973 graduate of Bridgeport High School. She later attended Delta College and Saginaw Valley State University. Janet taught early childhood education in the Saginaw Head Start Program. Later she and her husband were active in business in the Saginaw area. Janet was of the Christian faith. She loved the Lord, and was a Lay Pastor at Old Town Christian Outreach Center of Saginaw. She led the baby pantry. She organized parade floats, and volunteered leading church services in several assisted living and independent living homes in Saginaw with teams from Old Town COC. She loved serving others and her family. She was a hospice volunteer through A&D Homecare and Hospice. She loved bringing comfort and joy to her patients. They meant a lot to her. Janet loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a talented baker, enjoyed traveling with her family, and doing water aerobics at the Y.M.C.A. with her friends. She enjoyed gardening, growing plants, and was an avid crafter. She was a competitive Euchre player with her sister-in-law, Margo Hessler and cornhole player with her husband. She was always up for any element of fun. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends. When she got diagnosed with cancer, she’d often like to say, “Having stage IV lung cancer is better than getting hit by a bus”. Meaning she was glad to have more time with the people that she loved. Sadly that time has come to an end. In accordance with Janet’s wishes, cremation has taken place. The Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2024, at Old Town Christian Outreach Center, 600 Gratiot Ave., Saginaw, MI 48602. Visitation will be held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The service will begin at 4pm. Anyone wishing to give to a memorial, the family suggests the Old Town Christian Outreach Soup Kitchen or church.
