I'm just heartbroken to hear about Jan. Jan was a very special lady. We had so much fun growing up together. I lost touch with her in later years but I never forgot her quick wit and laugh. I probably won't be at the funeral because I fell and hurt my knee replacement, and because of Covid. Rest in peace Jan and I hope you know you were loved.

So very sorry to lose sweet Jan, she was always positive and fun to talk to, we were political buddies! She will be missed by all of us. Its so hard to lose a sibling, Jan was so good to Jean, and I'm sure to anyone she ever met! Give my love to Kim and all the family! The fear of Covid has kept me away.

Jan was a very special, kind, caring, and a friend to many. I miss her already knowing she will not be home to stop by and catch her in her yard for a quick visit. Jan held the VV Class of 63 together and kept up with each of us. Rest In Peace! Our love to you and family.

She loved blueberries I always got some to share with her. She was extremely generous with her cards so we could share the love they took across country.
