Jana took great pride in the family she created with the love of her life, “Tommy.” Family was everything to her. She had a great love for her children and grandchildren. Bingo was a family favorite. She was known for her generosity and giving the best advice. She loved entertaining her friends, especially sharing her passion for cooking. Jana loved traveling the world, but she had a special place in her heart for Puerto Vallarta, which was she and Tommy’s home away from home.
