Janet E. Resch

August 27, 1947 — April 26, 2026

Janet E. Resch, 78, formerly of Hickory Road, St. Marys, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 26, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family at Quality Life Services-Sugar Creek in Worthington, PA.

She was born August 27, 1947, in St. Marys, PA, a daughter of the late Harold and Genevieve Swanson Conroy.

On June 24, 1967, at Sacred Heart Church, she married the love of her life, Glenn Resch, who preceded her in death on April 6, 2017. Together, they shared fifty years of love, laughter, and marriage.

She was a woman whose energy and creativity left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. A dedicated and accomplished businesswoman, she proudly held the title of number one seller for Avon for many years, a testament to her warmth, drive, and genuine connection with people. Her creative spirit shined through her work, including the memorable ads she crafted for WKBI Radio, where her ideas and personality brought messages to life. As the owner of Inches Away Diet Center, she welcomed countless individuals through her doors-many of whom fondly remember the comforting aroma of her ever-brewing flavored coffee, a signature touch that made everyone feel at home. She had a gift for making holidays magical, filling them with thoughtful details and joy, and she was rarely without a song, as music was a constant in her life. Above all, she had a way of making everyone feel welcome-her home, like her heart, was always open, and those who entered were met with warmth, laughter, and a true sense of belonging.

She is survived by three daughters; Darlene (Daniel “Dusty”) Rhoades, of Kersey, Laura (Jeff) Dudek, of Larksville, PA, and Tina (John) Tegano, of Kersey, and by her four beloved grandchildren; Zachary Reuscher (Krysten Bowley), Nicholas Reuscher (Andrea Curley), Ryan Tegano, and Maria Tegano (Sam Flynn), and one great grandson; Zayden Reuscher. She is also survived by one sister; Patty Russell, of Buffalo, NY, two sisters-in-law; Margie Resch and Dolores Resch, and by several nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband, Janet was preceded in death by numerous siblings.
