The Gosselin's "Nana Janet" Has Died

Will Kate Gosselin attend the babysitter's memorial?

"Pseudo-grandmother" to Gosselin children dies at age 72.

If you've been shocked by how the Gosselin saga has played out over the last six months, imagine how the drama would have impacted the last days of Janet Weidenheimer, a longtime babysitter to the Gosselin family.

Weidenheimer, 72, passed away last Wednesday, October 28, and details about her death have not been released. She was known to the eight Gosselin kids as "Nana Janet," making repeated appearances in the early seasons of Jon & Kate Plus 8.

Kate Gosselin once referred to "crazy and loud and fun" Weidenheimer as her children's "pseudo-grandmother." We wonder if Kate's speeding ticket last Thursday had anything to do with the like-family death?
