Jan (AKA: Gee & Erd) was born in Chicago on January 31, 1955. She grew up in Olympia Fields, Illinois and graduated from Western Illinois University in 1977. She was a teacher in Matteson School District 162 for almost four decades as a classroom teacher, gifted education teacher and elementary basketball coach. Jan was very involved at Bjorklund House (part of Covenant Ability Network IL) in Oak Forest, where her daughter Kelly resides.

Family was of paramount importance to Jan and she loved spending time with any and all of them. She especially loved all the children of her nieces and nephews. After her retirement, she became an avid traveler and was fortunate to visit many countries with her "travel buddies."
