She returned to the US in 1969 and attended Plant High School where she graduated in 1974 and then attended Florida State University. She lived much of her adult life near Houston and considered herself a Texan no matter where she resided. Jan acquired many diverse talents as she was a trained dental assistant, aesthetician, jewelry maker, and most recently dog groomer. Jan loved animals and her motto posted in her room is "dogs welcome, people tolerated." She loved the outdoors especially being on the water, paddle boarding and swimming.

She also has a great-nephew, Braxton and five step grandchildren, Liam, Kennedy, Katherine, Troy, and Ellie.
