Janet Jo Wernli

On Monday, November 18, Janet Wernli went home to her Heavenly Father. She was a woman of strong faith and loving character. Janet was born to parents, Prentis and Margaret Bishop, on February 12, 1948, in San Antonio, Texas. Janet was a graduate of the Alamo Heights High School class of 1966. From there, she attended college at Texas Christian University, where she was a proud member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and met her husband, Fritz. After moving back to San Antonio, she became a pre-school teacher at St. Andrew’s, but stepped away from the teaching profession to raise her two children, Matthew and Christina. Janet returned to teaching at Alamo Heights Junior School in 1987 and enjoyed an almost two decade long career as a Texas history and English teacher. Janet was an active member of Alamo Heights Christian Church and then First Presbyterian Church, where she served the Lord. Janet is survived by her son, Matthew, and daughter-in-law, Ashley; her daughter, Christina Wernli Allen, and son-in-law, Brandon Allen; and her five grandchildren: Caroline, Claire, and Charlotte Wernli; and James and Adelie Allen.

Services in celebration of Janet’s life will be held at First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio on Monday, November 25th, at 11am. Donations may be made to First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio.
