Janet Klug

Janet Ruth Klug (nee Gebing) passed Friday June 16, 2023 at the age of 72. Preceded in death by parents Dolores and Lawrence Gebing, brother Lawrence Gebing Jr, his wife Nancy, sister-in-law Pat and aunts Caram & Ruth Berg. Survived by her loving husband Russell Klug, brother Jim (Denise) Gebing, caregiver/niece Jeanine, sister & brother–in-laws Regina, Elias (late Patricia), Ralph & Julie and many loving nieces and nephews.

Janet Klug was a lifelong collector who specialized in British Pacific and military postal history. She also had a long, deep-seated interest in history. She was the author of two books and wrote a monthly column for Linn’s Stamp magazine. To quote Janet, “Collecting stamps and letters from bygone days is a way for me to connect on a very personal level with people and events from those times. History is not just about famous people and events. It also encompasses ordinary people doing ordinary things, overcoming the challenges that happen in their lives, surviving and thriving.”

Janet was President of the American Philatelic Society, and a member of the National Postal Museum's Council of Philatelists. She had served on the Board of Directors of several philatelic organizations, and had chaired the Committee on the Accreditation of National Exhibitions and Judges for the American Philatelic Society. She previously managed computer departments for several corporations.

The family will be receiving guests 6 – 8 PM Wednesday June 21st at Evans Funeral Home 741 Center St. Milford, Ohio. Mass of Christian Burial 11:30 AM Thursday June 22nd at St. Louis Church Owensville, Ohio.
