Janette L. Freiler

Janette L. Freiler, 82, of Ashland, passed away peacefully at her residence on Wednesday, June 3, 2026 after a lengthy illness.

Born in Ashland, she was a daughter of the late Gerald and Ruth (Ney) Aaron. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by the love of her life and husband of 64 years, Gerald J. Freiler; and her sister, Ruth Ann O'Donnell

Janette is survived by her son, Jerry Freiler and his wife, Susan, of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina; her daughter, Mary Ann Henning and her husband, Ron, of Ashland; her grandchildren, Nicole Henning, Ryan Henning (Crista), Meghan Martin (Cade), Morgan Freiler, and Clary Newsome; her great-granddaughter, Malina Henning; as well as several nieces and nephews.

A 1961 graduate of the former Ashland High School, Janette was a proud member of the school's majorette corps and served as head majorette during her high school years.

Janette was known for her generous heart, kind spirit, and willingness to help anyone in need. She loved cooking and took great joy in preparing meals for family, friends, neighbors, and anyone who could use a helping hand. Whether it was providing a home-cooked meal, driving someone to an appointment, or caring for children, Janette was always there for others without hesitation.

Above all, she was a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished grandmother. She took great pride in her children and grandchildren and rarely missed an opportunity to attend their activities, sporting events, and special occasions. Her unwavering support and presence were gifts that her family will forever treasure.

In her later years, Janette enjoyed working on puzzles, playing bingo, and spending time with those she loved most.

Private services will be held at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, Annville.
