Jan Cottrell Obituary
Always delighted by children, Jan dedicated her career to working with students with special needs, and spent the last 23 years teaching at Broome-Tioga BOCES. An avid reader, Jan particularly loved science fiction and fantasy novels.
A celebration of life will be hosted at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the Cottrell family is requesting contributions in Jan's memory to the Achieve education program at Achieveny.org or to Springbrook at Springbrookny.org.
