Janet JACOB Obituary

Kia ora Jan's family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jan's passing. She was a wonderful ambassador for St Hilda's Collegiate and was a wonderful communicator and organiser as part of the Old GIrls network in Auckland. Last November she hosted and organised the OG's drinks and it was wonderful to catch up with her. She was such a vibrant and fun personality, while also incredibly kind and thoughtful. I enjoyed working with Jan to build up the OG's network, and it was a privilege to get to know her as the Principal of the school. My thoughts are with you all during this sad time.

Our deepest sympathy to Toby, Amanda and Sue. Jan was a very special person, always positive and a great friend. Tania and Robert Sweet

We are so sorry that Jan has died. We thought that she was invincible! Much love.

So sorry to hear this. We knew Jan well, she often came to Palmerston North to visit her cousin Pat Lopdell. She was always very kind to us, especially our daughter Nadia. She was always full of life and encouragement. She was very kind to Pat.

Thank you for a lifetime of memories. We had a lifelong friendship starting at school in Dunedin and then University, always scooting around Dunedin on the back of your Vespa. Although
we only saw each other intermittently in later years, nothing ever changed. I will miss knowing you are there. My love to you Sue, Amanda and Toby and the grandchildren. An amazing life well lived. I can´t be at the ceremony but I would love to watch the stream ..

Jan was so full of life, always with some exciting activity on the go. You would meet her in the most unlikely places and it was always a joy to catch up. Hugely admired and loved.

Travel well Jan you were a great friend to our mother Mary.

Dear Jan had a heart woven with gold...we will always remember her wonderful energy and kindness. Rest well dear adventurer in life.

So sad to hear of Jan's passing. Absolutely lovely spunky lady full of life and energy and will be missed by many. Sending hugs to Toby and Amanda, sorry we can't be there on Friday - please send link so we can view the service...love from Brett Sawyer and Linda McKay.
