Jan worked in Osawatomie as a waitress and also was a seamstress for the Mode-o-Day store. Later she worked at the Osawatomie State Hospital as a cook.

Jan was a large part of her children and grandchildren’s lives. Everything she was involved with was because of them. She was devoted to her husband and her children and when her grandchildren came along she just continued on as before doing all she could for them.
