Jan was known as "Skateland Jan" by many. She loved skating and taught all five children to skate. Jan never met anyone she could not talk to. She strived to be a good Christian. She enjoyed going to her children's sporting events and Moline Boys Choir. She enjoyed her time with and talking to her grandchildren. Jan and Ron were longtime subscribers to Circa '21 in Rock Island. She loved to see her son, Jordan, when he was in productions at Playcrafters, Richmond Hill and New Ground. She also loved going to Harrison Hilltop Theater at the District in Rock Island. She became friends with many of the actors. Jan worked at Moline Public Hospital as a dietary worker and in housekeeping before she became a fulltime mother.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Donald Francis and Wayne Allen.
Jan was a special friend. We met during Methodist Youth Fellowship at Aldersgate Methodist Church. She nick named me Tommy Lynn when we went camping with the MYF. She still called me that at our reunions. She was a hoot! She will be missed.
