MADISON - Janet Leone (Steuer) Fumuso passed away peacefully on Monday July 18, 2022. She was born on July 11, 1928, to George and Leone Steuer in Milwaukee, Wis., where she was raised with her eight siblings.

Janet graduated from Milwaukee Vocational School with a degree in commercial art in 1950. She met Walter Fumuso in college, and they married in 1952. They moved to Madison, Wis., where they raised their family.

Janet was a devoted mother of Matt (Marilyn), Mary (Mark) Schuster, Robert, Lynn, Charles (Nancy) and Kathleen Schlieckau; proud grandmother to Angela Schuster, Emily (Brian) Fuerstenberg, Leta, Anthony, Gavin Schlieckau and Rollie Schlieckau; proud step grandmother to Gary and Joey Roeth; and proud great-grandmother to Kevin, Evelyn, Tovah and Peter.

Janet always had a lovely smile and gentle spirit. She listened intently and graciously offered her wisdom.

Janet was a loving mother who brought art and gentleness to the lives around her. As a professional artist she created murals and artwork for "the yellow pages” but her best work was in bringing the artist's touch to her family. Janet loved to foster the artist in her children. She brought art to everyday life with magnificent cake designs, elaborate pumpkin carvings, holiday decorations, custom Christmas cards, and helping her children to discover creativity in their lives.
