Janice Marlene Harter

Jan was born on May 13, 1941 in Bicknell, IN to Homer and Thelma (McCracken) Bechtel.

She married Robert “Rob” Harter on March 29, 2007 at the Clay City Church of God in Clay City, IL.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one son, Bryon Kraning, one brother, Stephen Bechtel and one great granddaughter, Alana Thomas.

She is survived by her husband, Robert of Flora, two daughters, Melissa (Brian) Duvall and Barbie (John) Sorensen all of Xenia, IL, seven grandchildren: Matthew, Ronnie, Brandon, Arrin, Hannah, Briana and Cameron, several great grandchildren, a sister, Karen (Steve) Beymer-Millbourn, a niece, Jennifer (Jim) Heindl, great nephew, Graer and two great nieces, Audrey and Nora, all of Fort Thomas, KY.

Jan absolutely loved her family, her friends and her church family at the Transformation Church of God of Clay City; of which she was a member. She was a volunteer member of the Women’s Auxiliary of the Clay County Hospital. Jan enjoyed time spent with her “gal pals” and she was always ready to try new adventures. Visiting and traveling with her sister was also a highlight. Reading was a passion of hers and learning new words to use in her every day vocabulary made her smile. She also loved her “lap companions”; which consisted of many pet puppies over the years.

In keeping with Jan’s wishes, her earthly body has been cremated and a memorial service to celebrate her life and her belief in Jesus Christ will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2017 at 2PM in the afternoon at the Transformation Church of God, Highway 50, Clay City, IL.

Memorials may be made to her husband, Robert Harter.
