She loved laughter and sitting on her front porch on a warm summer evening. She always had a concern for others and would go out of her way to be a blessing to them. Jan worked for four years at Village Creek Rehabilitation Center and will be missed by many of the residents and her co-workers. She always formed strong bonds of kinship with her closest people.

She's going to be missed terribly by those who loved her and the hole in their hearts is readily felt. We look forward to the day when we can once again embrace you and behold your beautiful smile and shining spirit.

Jan was born in Garland, Texas on August 18, 1957, and later moved to Texline, Texas where she attended school. She was a long-time resident of Dumas, Texas and lived there until she moved to Southeast Texas in 2012 to be closer to her daughter and grandkids. Jan was a compassionate person and a caregiver at heart. She was by the side of many through illness, faithfully caring for them. She had many precious friendships, and they meant the world to her. Jan was a loyal and loving friend. She would go the distance for you.
