Jan grew up in La Crosse, WI where she spent summers on the Mississippi boating and water-skiing. She graduated from Central High School and later got her college degree from Concordia University.

Jan was a lively and extraordinary woman who loved to travel. She counted Africa, England, France and Germany among her favorite destinations. Even in her late 70’s she traveled to Ireland, helping a congregation to reconstruct a church. She loved hot air balloons and with her then-husband David Millin, owned The Sundance Kid, seen regularly at hot air balloon rallies.

Jan was a loving grandmother and great-aunt. Her final years were spent as a doting Grammy. Jan loved ice cream, giraffes, coffee, wine time with her friends and Elvis.

Am so very sorry to hear of Jan’s passing. I worked with Jan at Trane Company back in the 1960’s and we exchanged Christmas cards all these years. I will miss hearing from her.

It was a privilege and pleasure for me to have known Jan as we worked together at Community Memorial Hospital in Menomonee Falls for nearly twenty years. After we both retired, we got together for lunch about once a year with other former CMH colleagues. Jan’s cheerful and perky disposition always brought a ray of sunshine to all around. Thank you, dear Jan! The photo is from one of our 2019 lunches at my house. Left to right: Joe, Shari, Jan, Mary Ann, Jeanie.
