The Wilder family mourns the loss of their beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Janet Wilder (n�e Schiff) who died November 16, 2021. Janet was born March 10, 1935, the only child of European immigrants. Janet and her parents worked tirelessly in a family-owned grocery store in West Philadelphia, where Janet first developed her lifelong work ethic. Janet became a young widow with two daughters following the passing of her husband Arnold Haberman. Soon after, she met, fell in love, and married Gilbert Wilder, a young widower with two sons. Together they became the "Wilder Bunch" family of six. In addition to raising four children, Janet worked a variety of jobs including crossing guard, receptionist in a doctor's office, and administrative assistant in a funeral home. Janet's sense of humor and infamous sarcasm will be missed by all who knew her.
