Jan grew up in the Benson area and graduated from Benson High School in 1955. Jan was involved in many activities, social groups, and within the church throughout her life.

Jan was the mother of three daughters Karen, Kim, and Vicki; a mother-in-law to Steven; a grandmother to Nicole, Steven, Amy, Jimmy, Katie, and Destiny; and a great-grandmother to Hailey, Hannah, Hunter, Jaeda, Jack, Caleb, Lulu and Bentley.
It was Jan’s focus to take care of her husband and family. Family was very important to Jan. She would sacrifice her own happiness in order for her family to have what they needed. She was supportive, loving, and a fantastic listener. Jan was the glue that held her family together. Her mantra to them was, “Keep the triangle strong!” She always wanted them to be close and stay connected.
Jan loved spending time with her family and friends. She would open up her heart and home for others to gather and celebrate special occasions. Jan became a, “2nd Mom,” to many of her daughters’ friends. Jan looked after and cared for everyone. Jan enjoyed cooking, shopping, dancing, playing cards and listening to Elvis Presley. She also loved being around water. She enjoyed going boating and taking rides on a jet ski with her son in law Steven. Jan loved talking with others and always looked forward to her daily contact with her daughters and grandchildren. She always voiced how proud she was of her family. In her eyes, they could do nothing wrong.
Jan worked in the Physical Therapy Department at Immanuel Hospital for 26 years. She loved her job and all the people she worked with. Jan  was often referred to as, “the mother hen,” around the department because of how well she cared for and looked over so many of her coworkers.
Jan was diagnosed with cancer and fought for 15 years to keep making memories with the ones she loved. Her strong faith is what helped get her through the years of pain and suffering. Jan was never one to complain about her struggles – and was known as our, ” tough ol’ bird.”
Up until her last breath, Jan fought for her time with others. She wanted to keep going, to keep living – to keep loving…
Jan will be missed by so many – but never forgotten.
