She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Joseph Allen Thomas, Jr.; her brother, Ralph E. Main, Jr. and his wife Georgina King; her nieces, Carrie L. Main, Whitney L. Main and Jordan E. Main, her husband Steve Matthews and their children Naomi and Alec; and by her favorite cousins, Rebecca Gess, Jennifer Johnson, Libby Chitwood and Jeanne Meeks.
Four things Jan loved - fishing at Nag’s Head, golf, her flower garden and her cats. She was delightful to be around and had many friends from her years at Lane High School and her employment at University of Virginia Hospital. She will be missed.
