Jannette Ripka (Kelley), age 63, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2026.

Born on December 27, 1962, Jannette was known for her big heart, her kindness, and the genuine care she showed for others. Her smile and adoring look showed the type of person she was—when she smiled at you, it had a way of making you feel truly loved and seen. She had a way of making people feel valued, and she left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Jannette dedicated her life to the hospitality industry, where her warm spirit and ability to connect with others made her a natural. Caring for people came effortlessly to her, and the relationships she built throughout her career reflected the genuine kindness she carried everywhere she went.

She is survived by her four daughters: Danielle Mahan (Jason Mahan), Jackie Young (Adam Young), Krystina Voll (Albert Voll), and Lindsay Ortiz (Jeremy Ortiz). She was also a proud grandmother to Catherine Mahan, Blake Reinhart, Tyler Young, Jayce Eischen, Luca Voll, Amelia Ortiz, and Olivia Ortiz, all of whom brought immense joy to her life. She is also survived by her siblings, Todd Kelley and Sherrie Bagley (Kelley).

Jannette’s love, generosity, and unforgettable spirit will be deeply missed but forever remembered by those who loved her. Her memory will live on in the countless lives she touched and in the family she cherished so deeply.

At the family’s request, no formal services will be held at this time. A celebration of life may be announced at a later date.

Holland Funeral Service is serving the Ripka Family.
