A lifelong resident of the Muskegon area, Jan married the love of her life, Lawrence, on June 24, 1955. Larry and Jan were members of Fruitport Bethel Baptist, where she was involved with various ministries, before becoming members of Olivet Evangelical Free Church. Jan also worked as a teacher’s aide for Fruitport Community Schools. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting, reading and was known for her attention to detail. Jan was a travel enthusiast and visited numerous countries and states with Larry. Jan’s entire world was centered around her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
