Janet Marie Kollodge

In Loving Memory. It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Jan Kollodge, who departed this world peacefully on Thursday, May 8, 2025 at the age of 76.

She was the heart of our family-a woman whose warmth, wisdom, and unwavering love touched every life she encountered. Born on September 12, 1948 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she lived a life defined by compassion, resilience, and an unshakable devotion to those she loved. As a mother, she raised her children with gentleness and strength. She had a gift for making every person feel seen, heard and loved. She was a proud and doting grandmother and great-grandmother, finding immeasurable joy in the laughter, hugs, and milestones of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is survived by her soulmate of 58 years, Daryl Kollodge, her children Jeff (Terry) Kollodge, Traci (Dan) Whaley and Michael (Jen) Kollodge, grandchildren Kaytlynn, Michael, Isabella, Alexis, Chloe, Kevin, Keith and Jarred as well as eleven great-grandchildren. Her three brothers, Gene, Mike and Roger and five sisters Sharon, Wendy, Debbie, Betty, and Polly. Not to mention countless extended family and friends who were blessed to know her.

She is predeceased by her mother, Lois Gravelle, her father, Gene Gravelle and Lorraine Gravelle who raised her from a young age.

A funeral service to celebrate the life of Jan Kollodge will be held under the care of Bethany Lutheran Church, located at 204 C street Hawthorne, Nevada on May 31, 2025 at 11:00 am where friends and family are invited to gather in remembrance, love, and gratitude.

Though she may be gone from our sight, she will forever remain in our hearts. Her love will continue to guide us, and her memory will be our blessing.
