She married Merle Angle of Blackwell in 1954. She resided in Blackwell until moving to Edmond, Oklahoma. She later had the opportunity to move to Pueblo, Colorado. Jan lived there until moving back to Kay County in 2004.

Jan's musical talent was quite evident and she was a very well respected teacher and performer. She taught private piano, organ and voice lessons throughout her life. She was also a church organist for fifty-seven years. While living in Edmond and Pueblo, she worked for Edmond Music and Gilliam Music, respectively.

Her musical abilities afforded her many opportunities to entertain at a multitude of social events. Many of these events included the opportunity to meet and/or perform with politicians, well-known entertainers and sports figures. Over the years, Jan's music touched many lives and was instrumental in building lifelong friendships.

Because of her musical influence on a countless number of students, her legacy has left behind a renowned orchestral conductor, theatre performers, professional musicians, and numerous persons with a love for music.
