Jan was a great mom. She loved her children with her whole heart, and more. Jan was always patient, always kind, and always forgave others. She gave the most amazing hugs, made the best meatloaf, and always listened. Jan loved playing board games with her children, reading her Bible, and spending time with her grandchildren. She spent her life serving others. Jan worked for decades as a medication aide in retirement and nursing communities in McCook, Cambridge, and Trenton. In addition to friends and family, her passing will be marked by the many people she supported in their final years.
