Earlier today
I worked with Jan at DHHS, and she was related to my husband´s side of the family. Jan trained me to become a Social Services Worker in a family team where we shared an office.
Jan was one of the most patient people I have ever met. She was also very intelligent and knowledgeable.
Jan touched the lives of thousands of people due to her choice to work in a human services field. Condolences to her family and prayers for peace at this difficult time.
