Virginia Jansen Obituary
Des Moines
Virginia Louise Jansen passed away January 17, 2015. She was born November 25, 1920 to Mary (Vakoc) and Max Lentner in Superior, NE. A memorial reception will be held at a later date.
Virginia was a delight to know and could always make one smile. She made the most of life every day and had a wonderful sense of humor and play. She was a nanny for the Hicklin and Berlin families, and later worked for Seifert's, Younkers, Marc Henri, and assisted at the Discovery Shop.
She is survived by her daughter, Jane Keown; five grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
