Janet "Jan" E Winn

Janet "Jan" E. Winn, age 72 of Anna suddenly left this world mid-morning Tuesday August 18, 2020 at Union County Hospital in Anna. She was born February 16, 1948, the daughter of Herbert and Ann (Cassel) Winn at the Hale Williard Hospital in Anna. Jan graduated from Dongola High in 1966 and from there went to work for Russell and Virginia Davis at Ginny's Florist in Anna. There, Jan found her calling in floral design and in a few short years she purchased Ginny's Florist and renamed the business Jan's House of Flowers. She spent timeless hours at the flower shop, sometimes day after day and weekend after weekend. Whatever the need, she was there for her people. She befriended them to no end. She comforted them in times of sorrow and shed tears right along with them, as she handled their situation. Occasionally she serviced as many as thirty or more funerals a month. Recently she was asked to again design flowers for a couples special 50th anniversary of which she had done the floral pieces for the wedding 50 years prior. She was self-taught in Floristry- it was her business- her know. She loved it. She was an excellent floral designer as shew has an eye for art and was an artist with her flowers, with paintings, and in stitchery. She loved her family and reading. She loved nature in all it's abundance and when time allowed she relaxed in a quiet country woodsy setting with her dear Homer Airdoodle and Sugar Cookie Blue. She was a member of Big Creek Baptist Church for many years. Jan will be dearly missed, leaving behind her sister Brenda (Mervyn) Tripp of Anna; nephew, Eric (Tabitha) Tripp of Anna; niece, Autumn (Shawn Ward) Funkhouser of Metropolis; three special great nephews, Gavin Tripp, Wyatt Funkhouser, and Ridge Funkhouser; special grandniece, Mikaya Kosie Tripp; an aunt and uncle, cousins, a special friend Bob, and an abundance of friends as she never knew a stranger. She was preceded in death by her parents; her grandparents and great grandparents; aunts and uncles; and a host of friends.
