Janice Jeanne Kust Nettesheim, 78, went to be with the Lord on January 18, 2017 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in 1938 in the great state of Wisconsin, the first daughter of cheese makers.

She lovingly raised and nurtured her children. She was a talented seamstress and enjoyed crocheting and quilting. She was an avid reader.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Francis and Eileen Kust and brothers Darrell, Ronald, and David.

She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Don; sons David of Raleigh, Dennis (Maryann) of Richmond, Va, Douglas of Raleigh, Jeremy (PJ) of Raleigh; daughter Amy Biggers (Shan) of Raleigh; grandchildren Carson, Haley, Nicholas, Max, Quinn, and Jones. She is also survived by sisters Sharon, Sandy, Joan (Fred), Cindy, Jackie (Patrick); brothers Bernard, Randy, Kevin (Mary), and Brian (Karen).
