Mary Jane (Janie) Van Horn's Obituary
Mary Jane (Janie) Van Horn, age 89, passed away March 21, 2024. Janie never met a stranger and had a great sense of humor. She was a successful real estate agent and homemaker. She loved tennis, dancing and all things athletic. Janie is preceded in death by her husband Gene and her daughter Theresa. Gene and Janie were married for 46 years prior to his death. They built an amazing life together ultimately settling in Memphis. They and their daughter are now reunited in heaven. Janie is survived by her sister Marlene, son Alan (Kacee), son David (Michelle) and son Danny (Erina). Janie was “Nana” to ten wonderful grandchildren: Nic, Kristin, Lou, Claire, Lindsey, Alison, Grant, Rachel, Madison and Cameron and eight great grandchildren. To her grandchildren, Nana was more than a grandmother, she was pure unconditional love and encouragement. We thank God for the remarkable life of Janie Van Horn.
