Jan and I shared lots of fun times. It makes me so sad that I didn't see her at the end. I know that she's in a better place, and that brings me some peace. I love you, Jan.♥

On June 11, 2025, the animal world lost one of its dearest & best friends, as did I. Jan was a steadfast and unwavering advocate for all animals, especially dogs and cats. This world has also lost some of its brightest, without that beautiful smile of yours that could light up a room. Thank you my friend for your kindness that you first showed to me, beginning in junior high, throughout high school & lastly having the blessing of worshiping with you in church for several years. Thank you Jan for all of the fun times & for being a friend to me all of these years.  I love you and miss you Jan.

I just learned that Janis had passed away.  My sister and her were friends in junior high and high school and had many fun times.  I know she had a love of animals just like me  and would always share Facebook posts for those who had a lost  an animal in the neighborhood.  I will keep her family in my prayers. Rest in peace sweet lady.   Helen Knight-Crawford.

Jan I know you are happy and healthy now! I sure miss you and will until we are together again.

I worked with Jan at the Concord post office in the 90's. She was such a sweet person and I'm saddened to hear this news. Prayers for her family.

To the worlds best aunt anyone could've asked for.. I will always miss you. I will cherish the childhood memories of you always being that present aunt in my life. From the birthday shopping trips and dinners you took me to and all the times you let Pres and I stay the night at your lake house and have fun. All the "just because" times you would come over and spend time. Or the fact when everything fell apart in my childhood I knew I still had you because you showed up. It all mattered to me. Though we had some rocky times through my adulthood and fell off in our past- Im glad it got better near the end. Just know the memory of you will live with me forever- marked by all the love you gave, your hilarious laugh, as well as your bold and fun personality. I just know you're up there loving the family reunion your getting with all the loved ones lost. Hug them for me til I see y'all again. Until then thank you for all the memories. I love you, Jan. Always. ❤️:  DaniRooster (as you called me)

We met Jan while she and my husband were both going through radiation. She had the sweetest soul and she and I bonded immediately.  She was a Godly woman and we talked a lot about God. She would actually, after her radiation treatment was over come and sit with me until my husband was finished. Heaven gained an Angel. RIP dear sweet Jan

I met Jan less than a year ago, while my Dad was going through treatments. She was the kindest, sweetest soul, even in our short time of knowing her, I knew this. I hate to hear of her passing, even all she was going through and had been through, she always made sure to put a smile on our faces and would stop to talk to my family. She will forever be remembered as a genuine person with a warm heart and sweet spirit! My heartfelt condolences to her entire family, as I’m sure the whole in your heart will forever remain. I will be praying for peace and comfort in the days ahead.
