Janice Hollowell Obituary
Jan graduated from Red Bluff Union High School in 1967 and attended California State University at Chico, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1972. She spent her life dedicated to helping others. Jan began her career in Monterey Pacific Grove working with children with severe speech disabilities. During her long career, Jan also helped countless stroke and accident victims regain the ability to swallow and speak again. She was passionate about language skills and was a regular contributor to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation.
Jan loved being an active member of her community. She was a past chaplain with the West Coast Ladies Auxiliary Fleet Reserve Association and was also secretary for the Shingletown Lion's Club. Jan was chairwoman for the Hearing and Speech Action and Work with Hearing Impaired committee for LCI District 4-C1 as well.
Jan is survived by her husband of 20 years, Lee; her brother, Phillip Ewing of Los Molinos; and nieces Amanda Burkhart of Red Bluff and Jessie Herd of Cottonwood.
So many people have been touched by her kindness and loving spirit. Her family invites anyone who knew her to attend a celebration of her life, to be held at Allen and Dahl Funeral Chapel, located at 9110 Deschutes Road, Palo Cedro, on Saturday October 9th at 2 p.m.

I was so sorry to hear of Jan's passing. She was a great friend to me during my school years in Red Bluff. I was lucky enough to be her roommate in Redding while we attended Shasta College. She was always happy and kind and caring. My thoughts and my prayers go out to her husband and family.

Jan was a special person to me. We met while we worked at the previous Redding Medical Center. Always a smile on her face. She was a gentle lady with a huge heart. I had a surgery once and Jan and Lee came up to my house and stayed with me a few days during my recovery. And i lived over an hour away and i was unsure of myself but she and Lee came up and cooked and cared for me. I moved to Oregon 8 yrs. ago & we have mostly kept in touch thru e-mails and I told Jan we were "SISTERS IN OUR HEARTS". Lee, please know my heart is very sad too. Kristy & Gary, Keno, Oregon

We are so sorry for your lose. Jan has been working with my mom Kathryn for about 6 months, after mom had a stroke. Jan and my mom grow very close over this time and my mom just waited for Wednesday to come for Jan's visit at our home or at the Rose Center. Jan had a way about her to get my mom talking and laughing. They talked about life, family and memories. Jan was wonderful and will be greatly missed our family.

I worked with Jan at SRMC. She told me about her interest in beading so once in a while we would share some pictures of some wonderful beading projects. I had not seen her in quite a while, I was sorry to hear of her passing. She will be missed, she was a sweet and special lady.

When I lived in Monterey I was Jan's travel agent and then we also did some trips together. I will miss her smile when I worked at Costco as a demo dollie. Sometimes I would have lunch with her when she worked at Shasta Regional. I tried to connect with her when she was at Canyonwood but it never worked out. Susan Hamson Yvanovich
