Janet Rader Obituary

I was told of Janet's passing this morning and since then have heard from so many people letting me know. I remember Janet well, she and Jim were an active part of Magnolia Park for many years and I always enjoyed shooting a game of pool with her. She had many friends and from the number of people who have already contacted me I know she will be greatly missed. I know many of you share with Jim and me in sending our condolences to Jim and his family. If you wish to send cards I believe Jim's address to be 3840 W 4th Street S, Newton IA 50208






Janet Marie Rader, 67, of Newton died on Thursday, May 25, 2023, at Grinnell Regional Medical Center. A private family graveside service will be held. The family will greet friends from 2-4 p.m., Friday, June 2, at the Izaak Walton League in Newton.
