Janelle Melinda Hagaman

Janelle Melinda Hagaman, 66, passed away on November 8, 2021. She was born to Elmer and Mildred (Ronk) Bea on November 8, 1955 in Rockford, IL.

Janelle was a very happy child, and was the delight of her parents as the youngest of 12 children. She was a lover of family; she loved all her brothers and sisters. Janelle always remembered everyone's birthday, even her nieces and nephews. That was almost 50 family members. When she quit sending physical cards she always said happy birthday when she saw them next - a real care and love for others. Janelle lived in Colorado for several years and loved the mountains. Her mother's passing was very difficult, compared only with the loss of her daughter, Melinda, in 2018, and husband Mark in April 2021, from which she suffered until the day she died, which was her 66th birthday as well. Life was not easy for her, dealing with various illnesses, but she found joy in her daughter, Monique, grandchildren, Angelina and Jeremiah and her little dog, Charlie.

Funeral mass will be 10:30 a.m. Friday, November 19, 2021 at St. Bridget Catholic Church, 600 Clifford Avenue, Loves Park, IL 61111. Masks will be required for Mass. Arrangements by Fitzgerald Funeral Home & Crematory. Share online condolences at www.fitzgeraldfh.com
