She loved to sew, read and do crossword puzzles. Jan loved getting together with family to watch Husker volleyball, eat sloppy joes and enjoy a gin and tonic.
She was a great friend to many, including her high school alumni group and her faith Bible study. Her kindness and generosity will be missed by all who knew her.
The family would like to thank her close friends who continued to reach out to her during her recent health issues. A special thanks to the staff at Bryan LGH Hospital, Legacy Estates, the rehabilitations centers and staff at Faith Lutheran Church.

Jan was a cheerful friend and coworker. Larry and her were such a delight to be around. The world truly lost some great people.
Steve, Carol and family you are in our prayers.

Jan was a special lady. She was a dear friend of my Mom and Dad's (George and Mavis Bailey). Larry and Jan and my parents even went on a trip together!
Also, Jan and my parents were in the same class. Jan gave us a couple of lawn mowers and did our taxes that year for free. I remember seeing her at McKenzie's softball games that were played versus my daughter's team. Mom and I visited with her there. She also came to my daughter's high school graduation party!! She would call to "check in" on me in the years following my Mom's passing. Jan was such a kind lady! Steve and family - I am sorry for your loss! You, too, Theresa! Sincerely, Jenith Boucher
