Volunteer caregiver for the "Jon & Kate plus 8" children Janet Weidenheimer passed away last week at the age of 72."Nana Janet," as she was affectionately known to the Gosselin children, appeared on the TLC show frequently in the early seasons. She even rode a horse at the sextuplets' third birthday party, video of which can be seen here. Kate once called her a "pseudo-grandparent" and the kids found her "crazy and loud and fun."
There are no details yet as to cause of death. The funeral was scheduled to take place this past Saturday, Oct. 31 in Pennsylvania.
The hits just keep on coming for those kids, don't they?

Probably died from overexposure to two idiots.
Nasty remarks about a death are inappropriate.
Yes, but also funny.
Does this mean Kate might actually have to spend time with her kids 'acting' like a mother? I pity the kids...
anyway, Kate was into "birthing" them, but not so much into raising them.
Kate is the main problem and reason Jon left and the kids are nuts she flings accusations makes him do more then his fair share tells him to do things when they aren't even leaving the house for another 2 hours. She is the man and Jon is the ***** Im sorry but thats that. Those kids need help from daddy not mommy boo kate you need some or all the parenting and couple therapy not jon.
I do feel sorry for the children mainly. their parents are divordced, on kate's interview, she said they missed the camera guys, and now their nanny dies. Just sad. I don't agree with Jon or Kate, howevever...maybe kate was so hateful to Jon because he did nothing at home and acted like a kid himself. She always had to ask him to do things to help out with the kids. I would be mad if my husband didn't contribute at home. Do I think she was a little disrespectful, yes. But lets look at this...Who has been out partying and dating other people and not spending as much time w/ the kids, Sounds like Jon, not Kate. Kate has been doing interviews, but not going out and messing around. I don't care how bad things are in a marriage, you don't go and cheat on someone. I just hate it for the children.
enough of jon & kate more of the children who are living in shelters and fathers abd mothers who are wondering where the next meal is coming from and not if a chef is fixing their favorite meal i say enough get a life
