Janis Wilson Strunk
Janis Wilson Strunk passed away in her home at 71 years of age on May 4, 2025, attended by her husband and children.
She was born on Jan. 8, 1954, to William and Helen Wilson. She was preceded in death by her parents.
She is survived by her husband, Steven Strunk, her children, Gordon Strunk (Sarah Lear) and Stuart Strunk (Patricia), her grandchildren, Julian, Nico and Louisa, and her brother, John Wilson.
Jan was known for her intelligence, eclectic interests, kindness, wit and deadpan sense of humor. She enjoyed sewing, puzzles, playing guitar and piano, hiking and, most of all, her grandchildren. She had a varied career as both an engineer and a teacher. She never said no to anyone asking for help.
Jan requested that there be no formal funeral service, and her family will honor that wish. Instead, an informal celebration and appreciation of her life will be held at St. Peters Episcopal Church, 848 Ashland Terrace, on Saturday, May 31, at 4:30 p.m. Come prepared to eat, see friends and family, and reminisce.
You can honor Jan’s memory by donating to the Chattanooga Food Bank (chattfoodbank.org), the Chattanooga Foundation (chattfoundation.org) or Habitat for Humanity (habichatt.org).
Arrangements are by the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, Crematory, and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson, Tn. 37343.
