I just talked with Dixie DeVol Mclain's husband Dan. He told me that Dixie passed away in March from a brain tumor and to please let those who knew her know of her passing. She was a great lady and will certainly be missed.

Janice Nelson Woods

Dear friends,

I have the sad news that Jan passed away last Saturday night.  She has been suffering with many health issues for the past six years after her bout with lung cancer.  Lately she suffered a bad fall where she broke her leg and fractured a hip.  Both injuries caused her much pain and rendered her practically immobile.  I spoke with her a couple weeks ago and she said she was unable to get out of bed or walk around without excruciating pain.  She was quickly loosing her positive outlook as she didn't see any real improvement coming soon.  She was on pain medication, but that just barely took the edge off.  When Stuart called last Sunday he said that her condition went down hill fast her last week and that she finally died from complications and the lack of oxygen.  He said he would call me back later in the week to explain things as he was very shaken up at that time.  I know I will certainly miss my calls with Jan and the great friendship we have had over 57 years.  She was truly a special person and a very true friend.

     I think about all of you often and hope that all of you are doing well.

Love,

Shirley Hendrickson Griffith
