Jan was an avid sports fan and supporter of sports in Davidson County. You could find her at the American Legion baseball games, the Lexington High School football games, and watching her Carolina Tarheels play football and basketball. The best thing that ever happened to Jan was her granddaughter, Emily, whom she spent a lot of time with. Jan had many people in the community that were so special to her, the staff at Southern Lunch was her second family; and Mary Ellen Bowers Hinson whom she loved as a daughter. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Herb Lohr, Elsie Burnett and all of the staff at Southern Lunch for all they did for her. Also a special thanks to the staff at Hospice and Alston-Brook. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to American Legion Auxiliary Post 8, 8 Wilfred Avenue, Lexington, NC 27292; or Hospice of Davidson County, 200 Hospice Way, Lexington, NC 27292.
