Jan is survived by her life partner, Terry Fickler; son, Damian Scott; Grandchildren, Emily Scott, Maddie Scott, and Ethan Scott. She is preceded in death by her parents, Fred & Viola Evanson; and her sister, Shirley Evanson.
Jan was born on Sept. 12th, 1944 in Salem, OR. She graduated from St. Mary’s of the Valley in 1961 and attended University of Portland where she majored in music. She married Neil P. Scott, in 1972. She returned to Portland where she worked for PGE and US Bank. She held a few positions over the years but settled into her real calling as a care giver. She worked for Good Shepherd and then on her own until retirement. After the passing of her dad, Fred Evanson, Jan took care of her mom on a full-time basis.
Jan was an accomplished pianist and loved passing on that knowledge to her students. She was a kind-hearted individual who loved photography and the outdoors and who was passionate about the arts. She was a true animal lover as well.
The family would like to thank Terry Fickler for his care and dedication, especially the last several months of Jan’s life.
