Jana was born on January 2nd 1951, in Chickasha, Oklahoma to parents Bob and Annie Guthery. She graduated from Minco High School in 1969. Jana’s hobbies included playing the piano and singing. Her employment consisted of social work at the YWCA Crisis Center, then later employed by the Garber School District working in the cafeteria. But most of her time was spent raising her six children. They were always her pride and joy.
Even though her health was deteriorating, she still managed to be a caregiver to her daughter Deborah, who was battling cancer.
Jana was deeply involved with her church and was a devout Christian. She also had a love for animals. Especially her four dogs that she cherished so much.
Her friends and family will always remember her as loving, sweet, and caring. She always thought of others before herself.
A funeral is scheduled for Friday February 10th at 1:00p at Affordable Cremation, followed by a gathering of family and friends at Olive Garden on West Memorial.
All are welcome to attend Jana’s celebration of life.
