Jan Lynnea Gale was born September 1, 1955 in Ames, Iowa; the daughter of Verlin and Thelma (Davis) Gale. She graduated from Maxwell High School in 1973 and went on to attend the Iowa School of Beauty. Jan was an administrative assistant in healthcare for many years having worked with Mercy Hospital and Des Moines Orthopedics during her working years. Jan enjoyed nothing more than time spent with family, especially her grandson, Michael. He was a big part of her life and she followed his many activities. Whether it was tumbling, baseball or football, she was there. Time spent with friends was equally important, and she loved to laugh. She was not one to join groups but rather enjoyed crocheting, flower gardening and her animals. She is survived by her children, Robbie Thompson, Nicole (Jayson) Sainsbury of Omaha, NE; Jamie Lee, Jessica Lee, and John Paul Lee, Jr. all of Truro; grandson, Michael McClelland; sister, Gwen (Mark) Nordholm of Maxwell; and niece, Terri (Jason) Cox of Maxwell. Jan was preceded in death by her parents.
