Janet L. Enright


   Janet L. Enright (nee Allarding), 89, of Kewaskum passed away in the early morning hours on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024.   She was born in West Bend, on November 20, 1934, to the late Edward and Hattie (nee Kotecki) Allarding.   Shortly after high school graduation, and while attending her first Boltonville picnic, Janet met the love of her life Kenneth “Kenny” Enright. Kenny courted Janet for two-and-a-half years immediately proposing marriage to her after he returned home from the service in June 1956. Two short months later, on August 25, 1956, they were united in marriage at Holy Angels Catholic Church, West Bend. Together they raised their three boys Mike, Tom and Steve.   In the early years, Janet worked on the family farm doing morning chores before heading to work at the West Bend Company. But the role she loved the most was being a stay-at-home mom to her boys, housewife to Ken, and baking homemade breads, pies and other sweet treats for her family daily.   She was a member of St Michael’s Catholic Church, the Christian Women’s Group, and an active member of the St Michael’s prayer line.
