Janelle Stahl Ladbury

Janelle Stahl Ladbury, 44, of Fargo, ND, left her earthly journey on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

Born on March 11, 1981, to Donnie and Linda Stahl, Janelle grew up in rural South Dakota with her siblings Doug and Kayla. A proud Northern State University graduate, she began her career teaching science and math before earning her PhD in Counselor Education. For nearly two decades, she was a devoted counselor, advocate, and ally for students, cherished by her Spartan family.

Janelle married the love of her life, Jared Ladbury, in 2009, and together they raised three amazing children—Evalynn, Xavier, and Emmalee—her greatest joy and pride. She will be remembered for her humor, compassion, and fierce dedication to her family, friends, and students.

She is survived by her husband, children, parents, siblings, extended family, and countless friends who loved her dearly. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Betty and Ruben Stahl, Grandma Doris, and Uncle Steve Stahl.

In honor of Janelle's love of baseball and to celebrate her life, please wear your favorite baseball jersey (Twins, Red Sox or Fargo 61s preferred) or Spartan apparel and jeans to her celebration of life!

Celebration of Life: 2 p.m. Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home, Fargo, with visitation one hour prior.

Memorials may be sent to the Janelle Stahl Ladbury Benefit Fund at Gate City Bank.

Arrangements entrusted to Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home – Fargo, ND.
