Jan Fraser

From the Waypoint Maine family (formerly Waban), our deepest sympathies to your family. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Jan, as the Executive Director of Waypoint, I am able to experience the wonderful, positive impact she had on the greater Sanford community every day. Her commitment to people with intellectual disabilities lives on in the work we do. We will always be grateful for her vision, foresight and leadership.

SO terribly sad to hear of Jan's passing. The world has lost an amazing pioneer businesswoman in the human service field. I personally lost a dear friend, mentor (and at times, a mom). I will be forever grateful for the many years spent with Jan at Waban and her amazing leadership, passion, fairness and ability to motivate others to take care of those in need! Going out to do something good today for someone else in her honor.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Jan´s passing. I had the privilege of working alongside her and later reporting to her, and I will always be grateful for the experience. Jan was a true force - sharp, driven, and full of life. I learned so much from her, not just professionally but personally as well. Her sense of humor, warmth, and unwavering strength left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She was an extraordinary woman, and she will be greatly missed.
