Obituary of Janice Claire Jacobs

August 10th 1952 – January 22nd, 2015 Born in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan, she is predeceased by Jeanette Hawke (Mother) & Clarence Ecker (Father). She is survived by a family she was devoted to and loved including Husband Martin; Sister Doreen (Claude); Brothers Ken (Trudy) and Ron (Margaret); as well as Nieces, Nephews, great nieces & nephews. Jan loved her work in the insurance industry. She worked in Prince George, Calgary and Vancouver in various roles but was most accomplished as an underwriter and in her supervisory role. Jan was passionate about her faith and found great joy serving in the children’s ministries at her church, where she had a tremendous impact on young lives simply by listening and encouraging them. Jan cared for animals of all kinds, but was without question a dog person. She at one time was a breeder of Irish Setters, but will always be remembered as being the owner of her beloved pet Cleo with whom she spent hours walking the local dikes especially in the last four years after her cancer had returned. The family wishes to thank Dr. Paul Hoskins and the staff at the Vancouver Cancer Clinic. Thanks also to Jan’s family doctor Dr. Tehmina Wasti for her care and compassion, and finally to Dr. Shiraz Mawani; the nursing staff and volunteers at McKenney Creek Hospice for their compassionate and tender care.
