Jan loved her family. One of her favorite things to do was to share her love of art with her grandchildren, taking them to the Art Institute in Chicago and then to lunch at Italian Village. Jan was known for being spunky, joyful, creative and fiercely independent. She was involved in her Glen Ellyn community, always up for an insightful conversation, a celebration or a way to help a friend.
