I was very sorry to hear about Jan's passing. For many years Jan, Margie, and several of us were all together on the 6th floor. We had some good times, but also worked very hard. Jan was always bubbly and happy. We missed her when she retired and moved to Henderson. She kept in touch through the years. She was a good gal and is now at peace and close to her son, Michael.

I'm sorry to hear about Jan. She was such a bubbly person at The Aerospace Corporation. We shared being flight attendants in the days that we were called Stewardesses. I send my deepest sympathy to the family.

So, so, sorry to hear of Jan's passing. She was a lovely and delightful person and lots of fun! I too work at The Aerosapce Corporation and while we never directly worked with one another I knew her as our paths crossed many times. She always had a beatiful smile, was happy, and just fun to be with in all instances!
We would love to see what she wore to work each day as she was a Fashion Statement unto herself!!!!! God Bless all of her family! She will be truly missed by all who knew her.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. I shared an office with Jan at The Aerospace Corporation for more than a dozen years. Jan was our entertainment...from her gorgeous smile, her gorgeous wardrobe, especially her shoes, her hilarious sense of humor, you couldn't help but love her! Her love of family was so evident from the moment I met her. She was so caring and nurturing to her children and grandchildren in spite of her own childhood years. Oh my, Christmas was Jan's favorite time of year. She would start shopping in May (or before) and she would spend the whole Thanskgiving weekend wrapping ALL the gifts! She used to tell me, Margie, how can you wait until December 23rd to start shopping! I will miss her! I feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Jan and to spend "our" office hours together! Janie, you will forever live in my heart.
