She will be deeply missed by her brothers Dennis, Greg and John Halsall, as well as sisters Karran (Scales) and Mary Ann (Stadlander).

To Bruce, Kari and Jeff.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear of Jan's passing. She was such a spirited and enjoyable person to be around. You were wonderful neighbors and although we have not seen much of each other, since you moved to the Westside, we have thought of you often. Jan will not be with us in body, but she will always be around us in spirit. Rest in peace Twinkletoes.

Sincerely; Richard and Sherry Dahle

I haven't seen Jan for about 8 years. She was a customer of mine. I remember trying to get hold of her once and didn't have her new phone #. I tried for the better part of two days to track her down and she came into the store on the 3rd day.

The first words out of her mouth were " I heard you calling me". I knew right then and there that she really did have a connection to the universe and I do think of her often because of that day. I have only met Kari but she spoke of her family lovingly.

I wish you all the best at this time.

I have many treasured memories of playing euchre at the Ward's house. Jan was always a great host and went out of her way to make sure her guests felt that her home was theirs too.

Gonna miss our great debates Jan!!!
