Jan was an excellent cook and loved to bake. She also enjoyed making Christmas cookies, playing golf, bowling, playing cards, and swimming in the pool in the backyard. She loved spending time up north at the family cabin at Chute Pond. Dressing up for Halloween was always a favorite of hers. Jan was a member of the Red Hat Club, and the High Noon Riders Snowmobile Club.

She is further survived by 21 great-grandchildren; three brothers-in-law: Dennis (Sharon) Winter, Don (Peggy) Winter, and Mark (Annette) Winter; and many nieces, nephews, and other family members.

In addition to her parents, Alfred and Isabelle, she was preceded in death by a sister, Donna (Dale) VanRossum; and a brother-in-law, Ken (Bonnie) Winter.
