Not sure what to say?

Jan was such a genuine person. She gave me direction in how I want to live my life.

My high school days in Cascade were enhanced by her work, and I did not realize it at the time. It was a pleasant surprise to learn of her legacy in the area, and especially to know she founded the Ute Pass Historical Society. Condolances to my friend Kim.

Jan was an amazing person. She made me laugh so much when I was younger. She started the Ute Pass Historical society. She published books. Always cheerful. She will be missed by all who knew her. We had so many good times with the horses.
I will always remember her. She has a special place in my heart.

Sending hugs.

Jan was a Charter Member of the Pikes Peak Chapter of the Colorado Archaeological Society. She and many others lead the way to form an organization that celebrated 35 years in January. Her legacy lives on in everything she was involved in. Thanks Jan for being one to step up and lead the way. You will be missed.

Eddie and Betty Box Jr. Our father "Red Ute" Eddie Box Sr. gave the introduction to the book Utes the Mountain People. We are going to be there for Jan's service. We are going to offer a Ute Blessing.

I am thankful that Jan has been an important part of my life, and I will cherish the memories of time spent with her and the family. I will miss her and the wonderful notes that she wrote.
Love to all,
