BELOIT / MADISON - Janice Violet Schaub, age 76, of Beloit, passed away on Monday, December 1, 2025, at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg. She was born on January 21, 1949, in Madison, Wis., the daughter of Donald and Frances (Sullivan) Schaub.

Jan graduated from La Follette High School with the Class of 1967 and then went on to UW-Whitewater. Known to many simply as “The Teach”, she enjoyed a career as an educator for 36 years, teaching both at Turner Middle School and Turner High School in Beloit. She belonged to Our Lady of Assumption Parish and Saint Vincent de Paul. She was known as everyone's favorite aunt and Godmother. When visiting Aunt Jan's pool, she made sure every guest had their favorite snacks, be they Lemon Ice, M&M's, Chex Mix, Brownies, Czech Beer, or Coke Zero. Jan was an avid reader, often finishing a book a day. She was a constant giver, always putting together her famous "Care Packages" and surprising you with confetti. She enjoyed playing the games Euchre and Foo. Jan enjoyed escaping to St. Maarten for an island getaway, to Las Vegas, to California, to National Parks, and many other family trips.

Janice is survived by her sister, JaNelle (John) Stransky; brothers, John (Jean) Schaub, James (Rita) Schaub; nieces, Jennifer (Frank), Karen (Joe), Sara, Carleen (Tom), Jayna (John), and Katie (Mark); nephew, Matt (Neshia); and great-nieces and nephews, and many friends.
