After retirement, Jan and Ray traveled internationally. She loved to read and co-founded the First Tuesday Book Club in 2000 as well as being in a dinner club with monthly get togethers with long time friends.

Jan was a long time, very active member of Christ United Methodist Church. She sang in the choir, attended a Sunday School class and was active in many groups.
