Jackson in Buffalo and they were married April 26, 1952. They soon moved to Fort Worth, where they raised three children, Charles Jr., Steven and Marianne. In her children, she instilled a strong Catholic faith, values and a love of laughter. Jan and Charlie were married for 62 years. The family would like to thank all of the staff at the Isle of Watermere who took such good care of our mom, especially Angela, Marianne, Cheryl and Joe.
