Jan's career spanned 40 years and included employment with the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, DC, Fermilab in Batavia, IL, and Boeing in Seattle, WA. In 1998, she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree with an emphasis in writing from Evergreen State College. Jan is survived by Bill, her husband of 52 years, her children Jane and Jonathan(wife Kelly), grandchildren Whitney, Elliot, and Sara, and her sister Jeanne Vail (husband Bill).
