Jan Bergeson Obituary
Jan, born Jan. 16, 1959, was the fifth of seven children born to Norma Jean Fonnesbeck Bergeson and Garold Bergeson. Born in Logan, Jan was raised and educated in Smithfield. She lived most of her adult life in Lewiston and Richmond. She was a long-time employee of Pepperidge Farm and enjoyed many lasting friendships there.
Jan had one child, TJ Bergeson. TJ was the center of her world; she loved him more than words can explain. TJ and his wife, Rachel, have two daughters, Azalea and Nevaeh. Jan's granddaughters were her pride and joy; she loved them with all her heart.
Jan had many hobbies and interests. She loved collecting M&M figurines, camping and shooting her gun. Jan always had a special place in her heart for her two dogs, Simba and Bug Bug. However, her true passion in life was her family.
Jan is survived by her son, TJ (Rachel) Bergeson; her two granddaughters, Azalea and Nevaeh of Logan; her mother, Norma Fonnesbeck Bergeson of Smithfield; and siblings, Clark Leroy (Rhonda) Bergeson of South Dakota, Una (Elbert) Sweeten of Richmond, twin sister Jean (David) DeGasser of Richmond, Lori (Jeff) Glenn of Wellsville and Clair (Arlene) Bergeson of Smithfield. Also surviving is a special friend, Joe Seamons.
Jan was preceded in death by her brother, Kim Garold Bergeson.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8, at Nelson Funeral Home, 162 E. 400 North, Logan. Friends and family may call from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday and again from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday prior to the services at the funeral home. Burial will be in the Smithfield City Cemetery. Online condolences may be extended at www.nelsonfuneralhome.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Wells Fargo Bank, Smithfield Branch, where a memorial fund has been established in Jan's honor.
