Jeanetta Charlotte "Jan" Enfield

Jeanetta Charlotte (Jan) Enfield January 6, 1939 - April 11, 2011 Our beloved Jan, of Kennewick, WA, passed away peacefully after a long and dignified battle with pancreatic cancer at Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle. She was born in Oklahoma to Eugene and Maxine Elkins, the eldest of four children. They migrated from Oklahoma to Washington during WWII, where she graduated from Lincoln High School in Tacoma. Jan was married to Chuck, the love of her life, for over 50 years. They have two daughters and five granddaughters. She was full of life and energy and an avid tennis player and golfer. She and Chuck belonged to several country clubs throughout their life together. Jan was very involved in her community: Junior Women's Club of Lakewood (JWCL), Children's Orthopedic Guild, as well as Miss Tri-Cities Pageants. In the 1960s JWCL named her Woman of the Year for her achievements. In the past few weeks we've discovered there are many people who call Jan their best friend. She never met a stranger. She was known for her joy and zest for life and she shared that with everyone. Jan is survived by her husband Chuck, daughters Connie (Richard) Best, Donna (Rex) Sims, granddaughters Stefanie, Brittany, Cassidy, Kelli and Bailey; sisters Judy (Brian) Jones and Pat (Brian) Connor. She was predeceased by her parents and her brother Ray. A memorial will be held at Calvary Community Church in Sumner, WA on April 19, 2011 at 1:00 followed by a reception at Rosemary and Roger Enfield's home, 10210 Lexington Ave. SW, Lakewood, WA. Please join us to celebrate her life.
