Before moving back to Kansas City, Jan and Jack called Littleton, Colorado home for nearly 60 years. Jan assisted the Superintendent of Schools in the Littleton School District for 33 years before retiring. Her heart of gold and spine of steel served her well in her long career.

She is survived by son Stephan Fyke (Janet), nieces Bobbi Beisel (Ed), Cheri Collins (John), nephews Lane Rupard, Mark Fyke (Barbara), David Fyke (Cyndi), cousin Linda James, grandson Chris Williamson (Andrea), and nine great grandchildren.
