Janice M. Peppler

Janice “Jan” Martha Peppler, age 79, of Beecher, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 9, 2023. She was born to the late William and Mildred Ludwig on October 26, 1943. A devoted mother and friend, Jan touched so many lives with her bright smile, infectious laugh, and positive personality. The only things Jan loved more than life were shopping, traveling, bingo, Friday night cards, and fast boat rides on Lake Mattoon. But nothing exceeded her time spent with family. Jan is survived by her children, Edward (Laura), Joseph (Tami), and David (Jodi); two sisters-in-law, Barbara Miller and Barbara Ludwig-Thomas; seven grandchildren, Eddie (Alexa), Atala, Shelby (Danny), Nick (Brieanna), Antonio, Ashleigh (Ryan), and Alexandria; and two great-grandchildren, Rayna and Dallas. She is preceded in death by her dear husband, Edward Peppler; her parents, William and Mildred Ludwig; and her brother, William. Her family grieves her loss,but takes comfort in knowing Jan is reunited with Ed, their dog, Max, father, mother, brother, and late friends. We invite you to send your regards on Jan's Facebook page. We all know she will be looking for your condolences, along with your favorite memories and photos of your lives shared with her. A celebration of life will be held at the Manteno Sportsmen Club on Friday, June 16, 2023 from 3pm to 8pm. We look forward to meeting with all of you who are family and friends; everyone who knew her is invited to attend her celebration of life.
