Edna M. Janderwski

Edna M. Janderwski, age 96 of Farwell, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 30, 2025 at the North Woods Nursing Center of Farwell, surrounded by her family. On October 8, 1928, Edna was born the daughter of Alfred and Hazel (Liphard) Harrington in Midland, MI. Edna was a graduate of the Midland High School Class of 1946, and Midland remained home for her until she moved with her family to Clare in the 1980’s. Edna found her first love shortly after graduating high school and was married to Harry D. Linton, Sr. on November 17, 1946 and together they enjoyed raising four children and thirty years of marriage until the time of Harry’s passing in 1977. Years after Harry’s passing, Edna was united in marriage to Max Rauschenberger in the late 1980’s and together they shared companionship until Max passed in 2007. In 2010, Edna was married to Carl Janderwski, and for the third time she was able to have companionship until Carl’s passing in 2015. During her working years, Edna prided herself in her homemaking and enjoyed time spent tending to her children. She had a passion for crocheting, baking, and cooking, and also loved dancing (especially square dancing) in her younger years as well as camping across the wonderful state of Michigan. Edna is survived by children Larry (Beverly) Linton of Midland, Floyd Linton of Chicago, IL., Nancy (Lonnie) Johnson of Midland, and Cheryl Rauschenberger of Mt. Morris, MI, her daughter-in-law Karen Linton of Farwell, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. Edna was preceded in death by her husbands Harry D. Linton, Sr., Max Rauschenberger, and Carl Janderwski, her parents Alfred and Hazel Harrington, her sons Harry D. Linton, Jr and Harold Rauschenberger, her daughter-in-law Aida Linton, and her siblings Alfred and Orva Harrington, Mary Hoverman, Frances Haney, Lillian Rinker, and Emil Liphard.

Private interment will take place in the Midland County’s Lee Township Cemetery, where Edna will be laid to rest beside her first husband Harry D.
