A stay-at-home mom, she dedicated her life to caring for her family and creating a home filled with love, presence, and no shortage of chaos! As the mother of five, she poured herself into her children, always putting their needs before her own and offering unwavering support through every season of life.

She had a deep love for animals, finding comfort and joy in their presence.

Any animal found on the side of the road or abandoned inevitably became part of the family, whether the family needed it or not—and usually without warning.

For the last 23 years of her life, she faced chronic illness with unmeasurable, courage and strength. Throughout that long journey, she was lovingly cared for by her devoted husband of nearly 45 years, whose constant presence, faithfulness, and care never wavered. Their bond was a testament to their true love and commitment, even in the hardest of circumstances.

She is survived by her husband, Timothy Ganus; her five children, Melissa Johnson, Brandon Ganus, Jessica D'Alfonso, Daniel Ganus, Patrick Ganus, and her 9 grandchildren, with one on the way.

She will be missed always, but remembered for her quiet strength and the love and care she gave so freely.
