Janet E. Koesterer, 78, formerly of Crystal Lake, passed away Wednesday, November 27, 2019.   She was born in Salem, IL to William E. and Dorothy Reese.

She worked as a church administrative assistant for many years, most recently at Hope Church.  She thoroughly enjoyed being with her family and always made people feel welcome and comfortable.  Her granddaughters meant the world to her. Janet’s quiet and gentle spirit was very much admired and she will be greatly missed.
