Mrs. Mahoney, I’ve always called her that out of respect for her. She was beautiful inside and out. Her smile would brighten up a room. She was always pleasant to be be around. Everyone who met her loved her. I ran into her one day and I had the opportunity to let her know I had always thought a lot of her and loved her. We gave each other a hug. Mrs. Mahoney-I will miss you!!

One of the best ladies I have had the pleasure of knowing. She loved her family to the max. Beautiful inside and out. So proud of her family but took no credit for being a part of it. Fly high Jan. Sad I didn’t get to tell you good bye. You were truly a classy woman.
I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Jan, she was one fine lady. We bowled together for many years. Jan and I share a special memory.. I will always be thankful for her friendship.
So sad to hear about Jan. She was a beautiful and sweet woman. RIP Jan.

My dear cousin. Janice and her sister Pasty would come to my Dad and Mom’s place (her mother and mine were sister) in Minford, OH and stay all summer until school started in the fall. We lived in a log house without electric and running water but they didn’t care. They went to Church every Sunday with me and my sisters and would work in the garden, help pick blackberries, etc. This went on for several years until they got older and then Janice married so that was no more. Later, Dad built a new home and they were still coming for the summer months then. We all loved going to the Scioto County Fair and staying all day. Have precious memories of her being with us when she was young. Rest In Peace Jan and God speed, Betty (McDaniel) Brown
