A graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne College, Jan taught in the Lincoln County Schools for 25 years where she touched the lives of many faculty and students.

The family sends special thanks to Joyce Smith, Haley Brooks, and the staff from Stress Free Home Care.  Their love and support during Jan’s journey meant so much to us all.
