My thoughts and prayers are with Jan’s family. I was part of a Lunch Bunch with Jan in Bismarck many years ago. I will always cherish our great times together including shopping trips out of town. I love the photo of Jan included with her obituary. What a great smile! May she rest in peace.
We got to know Jan the fall of 2012 when we moved in to Edgewood Village, our neighbor right across the street. Always pleasant Jan was. I know she always enjoyed going out with the village ladies for lunch. Cherish the many memories of your loved one, no one can take those from you. What a beautiful picture of Jan on the obit. You’re in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time
Jan was a loving dear friend who never betrayed a trust. I loved her laugh and my “every out to Tuesday lunch with her” A memorial will be given to the Salvation Army in her memory. In Deepest Sympathy
