Jan was an auditor for the United States Marshals Service for the last 20-plus years of her career and was dubbed “Sergeant Major” by one of her coworkers, for being such a stickler for rules and regulations, and not letting things slide. She had an attention to detail like no other, sometimes spending hours trying to find a penny when balancing the checkbook. She was an avid reader and loved to cook and bake. After retirement, Ed and Jan took to taking extended road trips to visit friends and family across the United States, only leaving the Northeast and Alaska to explore.

Pallbearers will be Eddie Trosper, Jacob Trosper, Jonathan Hayes, Charlie Hayes, Jeff Couch, Chris Couch, Monte Jones.
