Jan Thornbrugh

Janolyn (Jan) Sue Thornbrugh was born January 15, 1958 in Stella, Missouri to parents Maurice and Delores (Stipp) Goodrich. Jan finished her battle with cancer on February 9, 2019, as she passed away in the company of family.

Her last days were a testament to the faith that defined her life. Even though her health failed rapidly, her trust in the Lord never wavered. Originally from Lenexa, Kansas, she attended Kansas State University where she met her husband Tom and began their 34-year journey together, a marriage defined by respect, dedication, and unconditional love. She stood by his side as he battled ALS and was the picture of strength and grace as she carried on after his passing.

Jan was known as a selfless prayer warrior, always quick to encourage and uplift those around her. She could often be found walking the neighborhood with Bailey, her loyal yellow lab, and loved spending time at the beach, on the back of a horse, or dancing with friends.
She was active at Prestonwood Baptist Church and was involved in numerous Bible study groups, spending her free time investing in her grandchildren and numerous friends.

Jan is survived by her sons Grant Thornbrugh and his wife Laura and Garrett Thornbrugh; grandchildren Ashton, Finley, and Hudson Thornbrugh; her parents Maurice and Delores Goodrich, sister Debra Nichols and her husband Kevin, brother Michael Goodrich and his wife Blanca. And a host of many loving friends.

The family will receive friends at a visitation on Wednesday February 13, 2019 from 6:00-8:00 P.M. at Allen Family Funeral Options. Funeral services will be held Thursday February 14, 2019 at 10:00 A.M. at Prestonwood Baptist Church in the Faith Chapel, 6801 W Park Blvd, Plano, Texas 75093.

Jan will be laid to rest with her husband Tom, at Restland Memorial Park, Dallas, Texas following the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jan's honor to Strong Marriages, in Plano, Texas, Dewey and Lynne Wilson owners.
