Jan married Dale Frost in November 1960 and that marriage ended in divorce. She married John R. White in December 1973 and they had a wonderful life together until his death in October 2014.
John and Jan enjoyed many cruises, golf vacations to the West Coast and California, and shopping trips to New York, Las Vegas, Seattle and Portland. Jan participated in John’s 50th Harvard Business class reunion and renewed wonderful friendships.
Jan worked for the Social Security Administration for 28 years and retired in 2002.
