Champlin - 74, went to heaven on the evening of December 2, 2025. Janet was born in White Bear Lake in 1951, spending her first 12 years there. In 1963, she moved with her family to North Oaks. Janet graduated from Mounds View High School in 1969. After receiving her teaching degree from the U of M, Duluth, she taught in Honolulu for 7 years. While in Hawaii, Janet became interested in Tai Chi and massage. She returned to Minnesota where she studied holistic health at St. Mary's. She practiced Tai Chi and massage in the Twin Cities for many years. Her love of children was manifested through her teaching, nannying on Long Island, NY and by the fun times she spent with her many nieces and nephews. We thank the staff at Chika House in Champlin for the loving care they gave Janet her last 6 1/2 years. Janet is preceded in death by her parents, Chuck and Grace Arend.
