Age 83, of Stillwater, MN, passed away September 4, 2026
Janet (Coler) Ulrich was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a lifelong member of Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church and lived her faith in quiet, steady ways. She spent many hours knitting prayer shawls and baby caps, offering warmth and comfort to those who needed it. Jan passed peacefully with her family by her side, going home to meet the Lord.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Florence Coler, sister Judy Jahnke and brother‑in‑law Arnold Ulrich. She is survived by her devoted husband of 62 years, Jerry; daughters Chris (Jeff) and Kim (Mark); brother Bill Coler (Sandy); brother‑in‑law Hoyt Jahnke; sister‑in‑law Shirley Ulrich; goddaughter Karen Stone; godson Tim Jahnke; nieces Cindy Langdon and Cindy Fanta; and nephew Tom Coler.
A special thank you to the staff at Lakeview and Regions hospitals for the compassionate care they provided.
