Jan was born on Dec. 11, 1935, in Des Moines, Iowa, the beloved daughter of James "Ralph" and Alma (Fink) Porter. Jan graduated from Altoona High School. She was united in marriage to R.

She loved golfing and traveling, especially to Arizona in the winter months. Jan's greatest joy was found in her family – especially with her grandchildren whom she adored, cared for, and encouraged. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many.
