She was a homemaker while Bob was in the Navy and later became a preschool teacher. After her retirement, Jan watched and doted over her grandchildren who were the second loves of her life. She shared books, movies, card games, many laughs, treats and most importantly an immense amount of love with all of her grandchildren.
