Janet Kimmel

Janet Kimmel
Janet (Brunst) Kimmel, 72, of Noblesville, passed away on August 27, 2012 after a valiant fight against cancer. She was born on October 27, 1939 in Crawfordsville, IN.
She worked as a guidance counselor at Noblesville High School for over 30 years. Her loving "family" grew each year as she helped guide students, many whom considered her a second mother, toward their futures. It was truly comforting that some of those former students were able to care for her as she battled her final illness.
Janet's health challenges began with a Leukemia diagnosis in 1992. In 1993 she received a bone marrow transplant from her sister, Lynn. This gift allowed Janet to experience the blessings of six grandsons. She relished sharing holidays, celebrating birthdays, and cheering from the sidelines at countless sporting events. Unfortunately, Janet continued to face health challenges, receiving a liver transplant in 2009, and two subsequent cancer diagnoses. Her strength, patience, and faith throughout these hardships were a true inspiration to all that knew her.
Janet, a 1958 graduate of Ladoga High School and 1962 graduate of Butler University, began her career teaching business at Beech Grove High School. While at Butler, she served as president of the Delta Gamma Sorority. She married her hometown sweetheart, Charley Kimmel, in 1963. Janet was a member of the Noblesville First United Methodist Church.
She is survived by her son, Dave (Laurie) Kimmel and her grandchildren, Luke, Cole, and Charlie Kimmel; her daughter, Kandice (Bill) Lang and her grandchildren, Max, Jack, and Joe Lang; and sisters, Carol (Bill) Kimmel and Lynn (Dale) Behner.
Janet was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Ruby Brunst; her stepfather, Wayne Byrd; and a nephew, William Kimmel Jr.
Visitation will be on Thursday, August 30, 2012 from 4:00 to 7:00pm at Randall and Roberts Funeral Home, 1150 Logan Street in Noblesville with funeral services immediately following. A graveside ceremony will be Friday at 10:00am at Crownland Cemetery in Noblesville.
Memorial Contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, the National Foundation for Transplants, or the Heroes Foundation.
