Jane Renee Delle, born September 9, 1965 to Evelyn and John Leib, Jr. in Harrisburg, PA, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2025 at the age of 59.

A graduate of Riverland Community College. She had many interests and hobbies. She found joy in watching the Minnesota Vikings play, keeping up with each new season of Survivor, scrapbooking, diamond art, and other various crafts. You would often find her bringing laughter and joy to her friends at the Eagles Club on Friday evenings, solidifying her connection to the community. Jan loved adventure, often taking scenic drives to look for deer and savoring tropical vacations each year to spend time on the beach. She shared these adventures alongside her husband, John Delle, Jr. after their marriage on July 16, 1997.

She cherished the time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren—Mazin Sanchez, Myles Grove, and Ryleigh Jensen—was immeasurable, and Jan's life was further enriched by the special companionship of her cats, who were an enduring source of comfort and joy.

She is lovingly survived by her husband, John Delle Jr. of Albert Lea, Minnesota; children Wesley Tuttle, Dawn (Beau) Jensen, and Jesse Tuttle; grandchildren Mazin Sanchez, Myles Grove, and Ryleigh Jensen; grandmother Marion Floyd (Beckman); and her siblings Karen (Ken) Anderson, Lori (Mike) Knudsen, and Jeff (Kari) Leib. Jan also leaves behind a circle of special friends, including Lee Payrot Sr. and Rita (Brian) Amundson, as well as many nieces, nephews, and several extended family members who cherished her deeply.

Jan is preceded in death by her parents, John Leib Jr. and Evelyn Leib (Beckman); her brother John “Skip” Leib III; her niece Allison Marshall; sister-in-law Jody Delle; and brother-in-law Jeffrey Delle.
