OBITUARY

Arrangements are under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home. Janice W. Decker was born Dec. 12, 1933, in Carrier, Okla., to Walter and Estelle Went. Jan passed from this life into the next on Friday, April 12, 2013, after a long and courageous battle with M.S.

an was an amazing woman, full of love. Her strength inspired so many people in so many different ways. Jan was a giving person. She gave of her time, her energy, wisdom and love to anyone in need. She found the love of her life and was married July 11, 1986, to William E. Decker. Jan enjoyed many things while she was with us. She enjoyed quilting and sewing. She loved her gardens. She could never get the “farm girl” out of her.

Of all the things Jan loved, her family was her passion. She was so proud of being a mother, a grandma and a great-grandma (or “G.G.” as we called her). She will always be a part of who we all are. We will all strive to lead the exemplary life she led for the rest of our lives. The world is a far better place because she was in it.

Jan is survived by two daughters, Robyn Congdon of Crescent, Okla., and Jana Brandborg of Tulsa, Okla.; one son, David Coombs of Georgetown, Texas; two sisters, Virginia King of Yukon, Okla., and Jarilyn Riley of Oklahoma City, Okla.; two stepsons, Bruce Decker of Bartlesville, Okla., and Jimmy Decker of Hennessey, Okla.; two stepdaughters, Ronnie Decker of Hennessey, Okla., and Connie Young of Bowie, Md.; 14 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Estelle Went; her husband, Bill Decker; her brother, Russell Went; and one granddaughter.
