Jan was affectionately known by several endearing names, including Aunt Jan, Aunt Plummy, and Aunt Jingles. Each nickname reflected the warmth and unique personality that she shared with her family and friends. Jan was an enthusiastic card player who found joy in friendly competition. She especially loved playing games like seven & three and dummy rummy, which brought laughter and togetherness to many gatherings. Jan's vibrant spirit lives on. We imagine her laughing it up in Heaven with Aunt Tina, Aunt Laura, and Aunt Marlene. Whether she's out shopping, chatting on the phone, or sharing a smile, Jan's presence continues to bring happiness to all who remember her.
