Janet Goeske
Senior Activist
1929- 1993
A woman of selfless service to others, fervor, humor, and best of all, audacity. She began the development of the Janet Goeske Center, a place for people “to come alive at 55”. Her tenacity to build a place to build up those in need led her to accomplish the incredible feat of bringing together many different agencies, government and community organizations alike.
The Janet Goeske Center is a state of the art facility where seniors in the community feel a sense of belonging and purpose.
"We bring laughter, fun, and compassion to everything we do."
Our Staff is a dedicated team of highly engaged individuals who strive to make our center a thriving place to be.
"To serve our community through the Janet Goeske Foundation is truly an honor and a privilege."
Our Board of Directors upholds our mission to enrich the lives of our senior community.
