Jan was a loving wife, mother, sister, nanny, aunt and friend to so many. She had a big heart and provided to anyone who may have been in need. She was a lover for mystery and paranormal shows, that being said everyone WATCH OUT! She enjoyed riding around with the top down in a convertible, anything that was ‘goofy’ related, and playing games on her phone. No matter the limitations her body made for her, she pushed right on through making her one tough woman. Jan was one of a kind and will be deeply missed and loved by so many.
She is preceded in death by her mother Louis Leigh, step-mother Bonnie Underwood, father Charles Underwood, mother-in-law Wanda Hill, father-in-law Wayne (Tubby) Hill, sister Jenny Thompson, and daughter Peggy Perry.

She is also survived by 14 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and those she accepted in her life as family.
