Loved having Jan as a neighbor and friend. Enjoyed many evenings of wine and chat. She loved her family and friends fiercely and always had a good story or two to share. She will be missed by many but also held in their hearts. May the memories you hold help you through this difficult time.

Mrs. Newberry was my neighbor for many years and knew me since I was young. She was like family. I received many of her knitted afghans , for my children and even two especially made for me. I will miss her very much. I pray that Cheryl, Don and Scott have some pain eased by knowing what a positive impact she had on so many people with her gentle sweetness.
