An amazing lady in all her life’s journey’s
So respected in the Netball Community and always just a pleasure to see at her workplace or wherever she may be, with her own unique grace and true honesty.
A beautiful smile, a beautiful soul now home with her beloved Jim 💜
So sad to hear that Jan has left us. What a lovely lady, always a smile and interested in catching up with all. Condolences to Zenda, Glenda and extended families and Lynettes family. Our Mum Noel Greenwood loved you girls as we all do. Sincere condolences from Tops Dennis Peter Heather, Rob, Prue and Rick Greenwood Families.
To the family and friends of Jan,
Extending sincere sympathy as we remember a truly special lady – always smiling and always fabulous fun to be in the company of.
Happy memories of Jan live on – especially of those legendary ‘Quambatook Cup’ Calcutta nights at the local hotel… full of laughs, chatter and that unmistakable twinkle in her eye.
May Jan now rest peacefully with dear Jim by her side, reunited at last.
To Jan’s sisters and their families… please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your beautiful Jan.
She will be greatly missed by all.

Sincerest condolences to Jan’s family. A beautiful soul now at peace ♥️
Jan I always enjoyed caring for you at MHH, it was always a pleasure. I will miss your beautiful smile and our great conversations. RIP Jan 🌹🌹
Dearest Jan,
We will miss your beautiful smile. We have missed Jim mowing the lawns. You were always both happy to stop for a chat and the children loved visiting each week as they grew up. Laughing as we’d watch you and Glenys chat for an hour at the front gate after church.
Such beautiful friends… Glenys will miss you dearly.
There will be a special place in heaven for you dear Jan.
Go the mighty Saints.
Fondest Love Dean, Sue, Zoe & Joel
Dear Jan, You loved your community dearly, which was evident through your lifelong commitment to and the pride you had in Quambatook. You utilised your strengths to support many areas of the community, playing, umpiring and scoring netball and serving as treasurer for many organisations, to name just a few. A beautiful, gentle, caring lady who was a perfectionist at all she did. Always a beaming smile, always pleased to see you, even at Curves workouts! Returned to Jim’s care. 🙏💕
Sending condolences to the Free families on the sad loss of a wonderful friend.
Jan was so devoted to her Quambatook community, with a beautiful heart, she saw the best in everyone!
Wonderful memories of times together spent umpiring and scoring, often grade after grade, then suming up the days play at the NAB during the week.
So much joy in our outings as Life members of GRNFL.
Another Angel in heaven to join her much loved Jim!
Barb, Rob, Girls and families
We were saddened to learn of Jan’s passing.
We were Hostel Girls in Swan Hill in Secondary School, played and umpired netball together for
many years, and were thrilled to have you join our trip to South Africa a few years ago.
You were a much loved cousin and friend.
Our sympathy to the family.
Our deepest sympathy to all of Jan’s extended family & friends. Jan was my much loved cousin who will be sadly missed.
I have many happy memories of us growing up together in Quamby back in the 50’s before we moved to Melbourne & our Free Girls reunion’s over the later years.
Rest peacefully Jan with your beloved Jim – Rhonda Sutton (née Free)
Condolences such a lovely lady who will be sadly missed. RIP Jan.
A Lady, you were the true definition of a lady Jan. You oozed with beauty, pride and respect, not only for yourself, but for those you held close to your heart as well. A Lady, that will be truly missed by her close friends and the Quambatook community as a whole. Gone from Lady to Angel. RIP Jan xx
Respected and loved person dedicated member of the community. Service to Kerang District League and Golden Rivers will be remembered fondly.
