Jan was one of my favorite cousins. She was so caring and fun to be with. Though she never had children of her own, she loved her nieces and nephews as if they were hers. And from the comments by her students, she had a powerful impact on the children of her community. What a life well lived.❤

We were classmates at Moultrie High School and I
will remember her as a straight ahead, true southern lady. I know she had a strong positive influence on many people she worked with and taught. My condolences to Lyle and her family. She left us too soon

Ms. Viser was my 6th grade teacher at C.E. Williams Middle School 30 years ago. She had a tremendously positive impact on my life. She was a teacher who truly cared. My sympathies are with her family.

Lyle, Annalyle and Viser family,

My condolences to you all in Jan's passing. You may recall Jan and I were neighbors moons ago on Carriage Lane. Jan was a wonderful neighbor and I always enjoyed my conversations with her big heart and good sense of humor. Jan introduced me to Miss Annie, a treasure in her own right.

May the many wonderful memories you have of Jan and share with one another warm your hearts as you heal. Holding you in my prayers....
