I met Jan at quilt group and always admired her quilting and knitting skills. I loved seeing pictures of her kids and grandkids, as she was so very proud of them! And we bonded over our husbands’ love of Lego — I’m going to miss griping about it with her.

I was saddened to read of Jan's passing.
I had the privilege of working with Jan early in her nursing career.
Her professionalism, skill, compassion, and her motivation for learning are qualities that stand out in my memory of her.
We looked after each other's dogs, shared stories about family, & managed to get a group of us together for a Rolling Stones concert.
I have no doubt that Jan made a difference to those entrusted to her care and to those for whom she deeply cared.
My condolences to her beloved family.
May her memory live long in your hearts..

We could always depend on Jan and Mike for get-togethers, sharing stories, news, or laughs over coffee or tea. Family meant so much to Jan, and I know she will be missed greatly. Her memory will hold a special place in our hearts.

I had the privilege of working with Jan when we both worked at Southern Health. Jan was dedicated to her profession as a nurse leader, but Jan was most passionate about her family. When speaking about Mike, her kids and grandkids, Jan always beamed. May she rest in peace, and may her family hold her memory close, knowing her suffering has ended.

Sincere condolences to Jan's family. I had the pleasure of meeting Jan as fellow quilters, sewing together through guilds and several retreats. I always admired her skills and the items she created for her family. She will be missed.

I was so sad to hear of Jan's passing. I really enjoyed talking with her when she would help drive the shuttle at Waverley. She was a wonderful person and she will be missed immensely.
