You are missed cous. I appreciated it when you played with me when I was restricted do to my health.  God bless.

Although I had known Jan previously, we really got to know each other after retirement when we car pooled numerous times over several years to jazzercise classes.  What wonderful thirty-minute- packed conversations we had!  I hope I was at times able to give Jan insights, encouragement, and introductions to new friends.  Without a doubt, though, she gave me so many life lessons in self reliance and assurance; in being adventuresome and positive-thinking; in finding the best bargain; and in being a true friend offering unbounded generosity.  Thank you, dear Jan.

Although Jan lived far away from our family, whenever we would see her, she just acted like we saw her everyday.   She is a joy of a person and I will miss her dearly.  I will forever remember the time she, Emily and our cousin Debbie came to pick me up at 5am for a morning yoga and dance event in DC.  We drove in  and had a blast! Even at almost 70, she was always ready and willing to go on any adventure.  I'm thinking of you Emily.  I cannot imagine what you are going through.  Love, Chrissy

Two little girls learned early in life what a precious bond friendship would mean for them. Happily Jan and I met through family and quickly became best friends. Jan and I began the routine of play dates and overnights then graduated to “big girl” adventures such as days at Oglebay Park pool. Girl Scout Camp followed during our middle school days - wonderful days that we kept in our hearts into our later years. 
College followed and found us in the same dorm, of course, then came marriage for us both.  We both settled in Wheeling, WV, our hometown with our new families .It was here that Jan had Emily who simply made Jan’s world. Next came  the move to South Carolina  forJan and yearly trips back and fourth between the two little girls who will love each other forever💕


   Jan's sudden passing has saddened me greatly, but I know God has lifted her to Heaven as she was an angel on earth. I met Jan many years ago when I joined Kappa (KKI), and we became good friends. 
   Jan was so fun, positive, and generous.  Jan, a great listener and ready to help, was also filled with good humor and laughter. I and everyone else who knew her loved her.
   When Jan retired in 2012, she and I traveled to Europe to celebrate her long career teaching children. We had a fabulous adventure that spanned the Mediterranean from Barcelona to Croatia and met wonderful people of all ages and nationalities. 
   One special moment I will always cherish  was when we stopped in Pisa after leaving Florence on the way to Livorno where our ship docked. After marveling at the beautiful "Leaning Tower," we walked the mile and half back to the station to catch the last train to Livorno. We were surprised to learn the last scheduled train did not run on Sundays. Needless to say, few taxi drivers worked on Sundays.  Suddenly, we were racing around Pisa (literally) searching for someone to drive us to the coast.  Between running, laughing, stopping to breathe, and speculating about missing the boat, we flagged a taxi driver who agreed to drive us.
   And drive us he did. We made the trip in record time, and he even talked his way into the port, to our pier, and dropped us off next to the ship.  Fortunately, we made it just in time and boarded the ship before the gang plank was pulled. We laughed so much about that incident.
   Our trip was filled with laughter and excitement through six countries and sixteen cities/towns. We saw beautiful places and enjoyed wonderfully delicious food and drink. Getting lost in Venice, flirting with waiters in Barcelona, dancing with Sicilians in Positano, exploring the Vatican, or driving along the cliffs in Mallorca, we enjoyed each moment in each location. 
   Jan, you are loved and will be 
missed dearly by all of us. 
  



Jan was my favorite cousin. I lived down the street and she was always there for me, do to my medical restrictions of activity. Jan you are in my thought and heart forever. GOD Bless. 

I've known Jan since grade school and the days of the old Elm Grove. She was always very nice and very likable. Though we didn't see much of each other after High School, we could always catch up at the class reunions. I will miss those moments. Sincerest condolences to the family and may she rest in peace.

Emily, many of us at New Morning were pained to learn of your mother's passing. She was such a vibrant woman, and you were so close.  I can't imagine how hard this is for you. You are in our thoughts and prayers, truly. - B

Jan was always such a sweet kid. We all grew up in the Grove and went to the same schools. I can remember pajama parties at her house and ours. Although I have not seen her for years, I am not surprised she spent her life teaching children. Very sorry for her family and friends who will surely miss her. 

Jan was a natural teacher, born to teach. You could feel it when you entered her classroom and heard her talk with her students.  She sincerely cared for and loved each one.  All of us whose life she touched have been fortunate to know her.  Emily, you have been blessed with a wonderful mother and role model.  May our memories of her be a source of comfort to you at this difficult 
time.

Words are inadequate to express my condolences to Emily and the entire family in the passing of Janis. My prayers will continue! Although I never met Janis in person, I came to know her through her amazing and courageous daughter, Emily, when we were suitemates for almost two years. During this time, Emily shared stories of uncontrollable laughter with her mother, pics of their adventures across the world, her mother's love of exercise, jazzacize and anything creative,  their mutual love and respect for each other as mother and daughter and as women, and how her mother has and will forever shape her life to blossom into the woman you are and will become.
Emily, please know you are showered with those who love  and support you! You are never alone. Peace and love my friend!

To her family and friends she was awesome friend growing up my she RIP God Blessed 

Mrs. Fox  made an indelible and lasting impression on many children - especially my daughter, Stefanie. She connected with her in a way that few teachers do with her gift of teaching that made every child feel special. Her memory lives on in our family and I'm sure the numerous children she touched throughout her teaching career. We send our heartfelt prayers to Emily and all the family and friends that loved Mrs. Fox. Betsy for the Kosh family.

God took you from us way too soon.  You were loved by so, so many family, friends, students and acquaintances.   You touched so many lives with your kindness.

I have such found memories of our Christmas Eve parties and or family Christmas' with Aunt Gene and Uncle Harold so many years ago.

Remember when I bought Uncle Harold from Aunt Gene for a quarter at one of our many Sunday dinners at their house.

You will always and forever be in my memories and in my heart.   Love you so much.

She had been a tutor for my 2 kids for almost 2 years until March this year.  She was the greatest teacher and such a nice person. I liked talk with her about the beach , tan ,  friends, schools, traveling and her daughter.  She is always  proud of her daughter.  Katsuya, Daigo ,  Kento and I love her so much.

The first time I met Jan she made me laugh right away! It was my first year teaching at Lake Murray and she was assigned as my mentor teacher!! Words cannot explain what an amazing woman and teacher she was! She was always there for me, answering all of my questions, listening to stories from
Many great days and there for me on hard days too! She always brightened my day as I know she did every student and teacher in that building! Emily, I am thinking of  you and sending love and prayers! She will be missed, but her memory will live on forever! 

I met Jan at jazzercise class. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone she met. We became friends and had many fun memories...morning coffees, lunches, dinners and trips together laughing and telling stories. She loved her years teaching and would share her adventures in teaching her children. Her favorite story was about her daughter Emily and how proud she was of her and accomplishments.  She adored her daughter! I know she will be watching over her! Jan was a beautiful person inside and out and I will truly miss her ❤️

My Condolences on Jan’s passing. I knew Jan from LMES. She was a Wonderful Woman. She was always so nice and kind and a Great Teacher. May God Comfort you all thru this Difficult time.  🙏❤️

I feel privileged to have worked with Jan for many years.  She loved new ideas ..... always with that special  smile! Jan was among the first of many to do special technology projects with her students.  We followed "A Tree Through the Year" many seasons... as well as many other learning experiences and projects. I loved being in her classroom as much as the students!
My condolences, Emi!y. You hold on to happy memories! She was a wonderful lady and will be missed!

 

I first met Jan through Jazzercise.  She stood just behind me.  It didn’t take long to become quick friends, that was Jan.  As the years passed we became friends both in Jazzercise and outside Jazzercise.  Many memories,  Cooper River Bridge, helping our last friend Mary Steadman thru radiation and chemo, trip to DC and NYC, many lunches and our summer pool parties.  My heart aches for Emily, me and all the friends and family for the loss of such a dear friend,  but you will always be with me.  Love you Jan💕

I had the honor of serving as the first principal of Lake Murray Elementary School when Jan joined the first faculty there in 1999.  I never had any encounter with Jan that was not friendly, genuine, caring, supportive, and fun.  I consider it a pleasure to have worked beside her.  I just saw her about two weeks ago and enjoyed quickly catching up.  As always, I left that day feeling blessed to call her friend.  Sincere condolences to you, Emily, in the days and years to come.  May your wonderful memories give you comfort and peace.  Having lost some very dear folks in the past several years, I leave you with a thought that was shared with me...One day, when you think of Jan -  the smiles will outnumber the tears.

She was a kind cheerful person. She had a good heart and pleasant to be around.




Emily, my heart and prayers go out to you. The relationship you shared with your mom was an extra special one that was admired by all. You know she will forever be watching over you-sending you love and advice through prayer. Your mom was a rock. She was an inspiration to me and everyone she knew. I will forever cherish the memories my family and I shared with her. From our late night "life" talks on her porch, to our chats over snacks at her dinning room table, to her advice about "adulting," Jan was always knew what to say. Most of all, she always reminded me that, "This too shall pass." She will forever live in my heart. Heaven is a lucky place to have this new angel.  

I have so, so many childhood memories of my cousin Janis...waking up on Christmas morning with her and my aunt and uncle; building snowmen with her and Ellen, her neighbor and friend; visiting her at Potomac State with Uncle Harold and seeing her walk across campus in her miniskirt, and my uncle frowning at how short it was. I watched her curl her hair with orange juice cans as she introduced me to Led Zeppelin! She was so funny!  I wanted to be like her.  And, as we grew older, I still wanted to be like her...funny, sweet and loving, kind and giving! She was a true angel on earth and if you were lucky enough to know her you are blessed! To everyone who is mourning her loss, may God give you comfort and peace! 

Emily, I am heartbroken to learn of Jan's passing. She was an amazing teacher and person - always positive and always had a smile for everyone. I was blessed to be her friend. Brooke sends her love as well. May God bring you and your family comfort as only He can.

Jan, was a friend and our family's teacher.  I thank her for teaching my oldest son to love reading, well her and the Harry Potter series!  I remember how approachable and truly caring she was to everyone.  She was so instrumental in my children's learning. Three out of my four children had her in second grade.  That speaks for itself.  Jan I loved you in life and will love you still.  Thanks for answering your call to teach.

Dear Jan. This is an unreal shock for me and Mike Barba. Thank God we were able to see each other at the 45th and 50th reunion. We will do what we can to see you off in December, but if not, know we care. I can't believe your gone but if there is a better world, you're there. Hope to see you in the Other world, if not, know you were loved.  Tom
