My Aunt Jan
By her niece Betty Kitchen
May 3, 2006
Although today we gather to
officially say goodbye to Jan Latta, my Aunt Jan, I am sure that all of us here
will agree that she will always be with us.
She was such a vital part of our growing up. Although biologically she may have had no
children, she certainly mothered my cousins David, Don and me, and the
generations to follow. We were always
welcome at her house. Bring our
friends? She d say, Sure, will be glad
to see them. So we did. And she was
truly glad to have us all there.
Although she never married,
she has always been the uniting force in this family. It was Aunt Jan who cared for her aging
grandparents. It was Aunt Jan who cared
for her own mother. And it was Aunt Jan
who spoiled David, Don and me. We (the
whole Latta family) were at their house almost every weekend that her father
was home from
At family gatherings most of
the adults would go in the other room and talk.
For kids, this is of course, very, very boring. So Aunt Jan and Grandma would spoil us. They d play cards with us kids or some other
games at the big dining room table. We
all enjoyed it so. I got to stay for a
whole week during the summers. We had
Monopoly games that lasted the whole time.
She would let me change the rules a little. I didn t have to get all the properties of a
certain color to buy houses. We did some
gardening, tried to catch the Grinnies which most people know as chipmunks
and explored the wonderful closets upstairs.
They were wonderful weeks.
Here are some stories that
she shared with me that I think you will enjoy too.
Her father s parents and many aunts and uncles still
lived in
As a child Aunt Jan also always had to wear a bonnet
outside and was not allowed to go barefoot.
(That bonnet must have paid off because she always had very smooth
skin. No wrinkles even when she was
older.) The bonnets always had strings to tie under her chin so she could run
with the boys without it blowing off.
Here is one hope you can see her running across the grass with it
perched on her head.
When Aunt Jan was little she loved playing with paper
dolls. Her mother would get fashion
magazines but the pages did not show clothes in color so she saved the tissue
paper and colored linings from envelopes to make doll clothes with color. She never did like drab things--bright and
bold for Aunt Jan. Red was her
favorite. She played a lot with her
little cousin Marie. In later life Marie
told Jan that she enjoyed reading so well because of all the many, many times
Jan read to her when she was little.
I noticed on Aunt Jan s old report cards that she
missed a lot of school (36 days some years), and of course asked why. She said she had very bad earaches as a
kid. They would drain, and she could not
walk in the cold to school.
Both Aunt Jan and my dad
There were no electric lines from
Jan used to play dominoes and euchre with Grandpa
Schaub while Grandma Schaub crocheted.
When they were older, she remembers driving out to their farm at 11:30
p.m. or midnight, after she had dropped off her Dad to catch the train to
She went to
When Aunt Jan was
a sophomore her friend Angeline had a Cadillac and provided much of Jan's
transportation and good times. Alas, the Cadillac graduated, and Jan's best
friend became Hilda Schneider. It was a
friendship that continued throughout her life.
When she was at Altercare, she often told me how thankful she was that
they could talk often on the phone and still see one another now and then.
She was also thankful that she was so close to David
and Maxine when she came to Altercare and she enjoyed their Sunday visits. It was a blessing when Krystal got a job
there and could stop in on her working days.
Knowing that Vicky was always there for her too was a great comfort. She got back so much of the love that she had
given away all those years.
Yes, it always has been Aunt Jan who has brought this
family together. We have all learned so
much from her about giving, about loving, about coping. She will always be such a role model for us. She went through so many difficult
times. She did not complain. She did what had to be done, then went
on. I do think she was ready to go on
now too.
Our
five-year-old granddaughter Madison has been saying the prayer at the evening
meal. For the past year, it has always
been the same. Thank you God for this
food. Help Aunt Janie to feel
better. I think that Madi s prayer has
come through. I m sure that now she is
feeling better. Her body of late was such
a burden to her free spirit. I have
hopes that she is rejoicing in reuniting with the family she loved so well, and
we will see her again someday. And I
know she ll be glad to see us, like always.
She ll probably open with what so many of us have heard before, Well,
what do you know that I don t know?

To members of his family, his natural talents and
insatiable curiosity were legendary. This innate ability and self-confidence
led him to excel in positions normally reserved for persons with far more
extensive formal preparation. His curiosity about the world and how it worked
led him and Evelyn to use their vacation time to explore every state in the
union and travel throughout the world. His profound philosophy of life led him,
as a young man, to be baptized into Christ at the Bush Church of Christ in
His last days were occupied with finishing pieces of his
miniature furniture in order to fulfill his promise to people who had admired
his hobby. He lived life fully with deep appreciation of what he had been
given. In March of this year he learned that he had cancer. His determined will
and upbeat personality carried him through weeks of chemotherapy and radiation
treatments with the hope for a few more years. When he learned that these
treatments had not been successful, he essentially said goodbye to those around
him and died peacefully in his sleep a few days later.
