She will be greatly missed by “her baby” and constant canine companion, Blaze. Jan had worked and retired after 36 years as an office administrator at the Mopar Parts Depot. When she was young, she would spend her childhood summers up north in the thumb area with her grandma and grandpa O’Mara along with many of her aunts, uncles and cousins on their farm. Always happy to be with her family, she was an active grandmother always trying to support her grandkids in all their school and sporting events.

Even recently, attending her eldest great- granddaughters basketball games. A die -hard loyal Michigan fan and follower, one of the highlights in her life was attending the Aloha Bowl in 1986 in Hawaii. Always the life of the party, she had a great sense of humor, was an avid reader, loved cross stitching and so very proud of her Irish heritage. Per her request, there will be no visitation.
