Jan was the kindest woman you could ever meet. She helped anyone in need. Her children said Jan was who they would call when they had a question about anything. If you knew Jan, you would know how important her family was to her. She made them priority. Her favorite thing to do was spend time with her husband Bruce until his passing earlier this year. Jan adored each one of her grandchildren. She cherished the time she was able to spend with the family, whether it was at the beach, at home or at family gatherings. She will be fondly remembered and dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
