Janet Elizabeth Kuhrmeyer

Janet Elizabeth Kuhrmeyer, age 96, of North Oaks, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 after a life well-lived. Janet grew up in the Highland Park area of Saint Paul and attended Central High School. She married Carl Kuhrmeyer in 1951 after graduating from Gustavus Adolphus and Bethesda School of Nursing. At Bethesda, she met four other nurses who became her lifelong friends. Janet was extremely proud of her career as a registered nurse, and it showed in the many interactions she had with people. She was also very proud of her Danish heritage. Janet was a loving and dedicated wife to Carl for 70 years. She was a wonderful mom of three children, a gracious hostess, and nothing gave her more pleasure than gathering around a table with family and friends. Janet's passions were her family, friends, church and community. She embraced her golden years with a variety of activities and volunteer work throughout the St. Paul area. Children's Hospital, United Hospital, and the Minnesota History Center were some of her volunteering experiences. A favorite joy was rocking newborns at United Hospital for 18 years. Janet enjoyed participating in many friendship groups. She was a P.E.O. International sister. She belonged to multiple Bible study groups at church. Playing golf and bridge with their many friends were favorites of Janet and Carl. Janet and Carl travelled the world with family and friends, including trips to Japan, China, many European countries, Africa, Australia and South America. Janet was led by her faith, and she treated everyone with kindness and consideration. She made one to two daily rounds with her walker at Waverly and greeted every person she passed. She was a friend to so many and will be remembered by her commitment to serving others with kindness and compassion. Janet's legacy is her love of family and friends and her amazing ability to connect and care for others. We can only hope to learn from her example and pass that patience and understanding on to others as a memorial to her. Janet is survived by her loving children: daughter Karen (Dave), sons John (Diane) and Paul (Ursula), grandsons Benjamin (Shanna), Kevin (Alexandra), Austin (Jessica), Daniel (Laura), Christopher (Camilla), Andrew (Nicole), and Hans, along with eleven great grandchildren (and a twelfth expected in September), a niece Ann and two nephews, Niels and Erik. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, August 15th at Incarnation Lutheran Church at 11:00 with visitation one hour prior at the church. Private Interment at Elmhurst Cemetery. Her family would like to thank the staff of Waverly Gardens, Health Partners Hospice, Debbie Anderson and Sara McFee for their compassionate and highly skilled care for Janet and our family. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Incarnation Lutheran Church or HealthPartners Hospice.
