JoAnn Barnett "Jan" Shipps

I just learned of Jan's passing and am so sorry. Several years ago Jan spoke about the Mormon faith to our Exploring Religion & Mysticism Group, one of around 20 interest groups within the Association of International Women (AIW), now call International Women Indiana (IWI). I recall how much everyone appreciated her knowledge and insights.

Also I'm sorry that I didn't know about Tony's passing till much after the fact. He and I were colleagues at Indiana University Library many years ago. I appreciated his sense of humor and kindness. When I left IUL, I was no longer getting news about former colleagues.

I liked them both very much and we used to exchange Christmas cards. I hope someone will contact me if there is a memorial service for Jan. She and Tony were a lovely couple. My condolences to all who knew them. May God bless their souls and comfort their families and loved ones.
