She worked as an Administrative Assistant in the Albert Lea Schools for many years, most recently at Hawthorne Elementary. She and Don were long-time members at the United Methodist Church in Albert Lea and regularly attended Crossroads for the past 5 years. Jan's greatest joy and strength was found in God and expressed in the love she had for her family, and many dear friends. She was an avid reader, beginning the day with her devotions, an incredible cook and she enjoyed cross-stitching. She found a lot of happiness being outside gardening and camping, and loved all animals. She will be greatly missed. She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Don of Albert Lea; son, Matthew and his wife Theresa (Remir, Mary Joy, Mark, Raymund) of Blaine, Minnesota, daughter, Melissa Ausen and her husband Josh (Max, Ashton) of Albert Lea, daughter, Makala Hanson and her husband Corey of Hartland; brother, Steve Rundle of Tracy, Minnesota and sister, Pam Hanna of Leland, Iowa.
