Janice A. Eddy Anderson

A Chautauqua County resident all of her life, she was a 1956 graduate of Cassadaga Valley Central School.Jan was employed at Weber Knapp, Jamestown, directly from High School and was later employed as a medical assistant for Dr. Wolinski and Greenbaum, D.D.S., Jamestown; Allegheny Podiatry, Jamestown; and then at Heritage Village, Gerry, as a Nurses’ Assistant. She also served on the Board of Elections for the Town of Gerry. She was a member of Ellery Senior Citizens and attended Stockton Community Church.

Jan loved her family and being involved, not only with her children, but also her grand and great-grandchildrenás activities, which included attending every athletic event, keeping every newspaper clipping, giving countless hugs and kisses, being their biggest fan and cheerleader, baking and cooking for them, listening to the music they made, attending musicals and plays, spending time at Onoville on the water and campsite, and family trips to Myrtle Beach, SC. Jan also loved regular lunch get-togethers with the cousins and her closest friends. She was fortunate to enjoy two cruises in the past few years; one with her nephew, Jack Eddy, and her sister and best friend, Phyllis Ames, and most recently, with her sister, Phyllis, and Janás niece, Tammy Denison. Nothing was more important to her than being a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt. Family was everything.
