Janann Squire Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 13, 2015.

Janann (Jan) L. Squire, age 85, passed away on Tuesday, May 12, 2015 in Travis County, Texas. She grew up in Dubuque, Iowa, and graduated from the University of Iowa School of Nursing, where she met her husband Tom. They lived many years in Des Moines, Iowa. After her husband's death, Jan spent much of her time with family and friends in California and Texas. Jan loved keeping in touch with many longtime friends and neighbors, spending time with family, traveling, keeping up with news and events, golf, and cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Lucy and Dr. Walter Connell; husband, Dr. Thomas Squire; brothers, Bud and Dr. Robert Connell; and sister, Eleanor Thompson. She is survived by her three children, Cindy, Janice, and John Squire; son-in-law, Dr. Neal Meyer; daughter-in-law, Miyoung Squire; brother, William Connell and his wife Erezia; sister-in-law, Anita Connell; brother-in-law, George Thompson; and six grandchildren, Koby, Grahm, Mckenzie and Kaita Meyer and J.D. and Jacqueline Squire, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

She will be dearly missed by her family and friends. As per her wishes, there will be a small service to celebrate her life in Austin, Texas, as well as an interment service in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, California. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to either the Thomas Squire Scholarship, established in honor of her late husband or the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

I will always remember the trip I took with Jan and Janice to the Pacific Northwest. We saw so many things in a short time and created many lasting memories. What a wonderful lady, who was blessed to have such a loving, caring family. Love you and thinking of you Janice!

Tom and Jan Squire were our very best friends. We just learned of Jan's passing. We are so sorry for your big loss. We visited them many times and always looked forward to our good times. Tom was my room mate in Cadets and Jan was so gracious, kind and such a fine hostess. We will miss them so much, always. Love you all, Jim and Barbara Sutton

Miss Jan was such a sweet spirited lady. She was my neighbor for several years. I will miss seeing her on the front porch and yelling "Hi, Neighbor".

One of my favorite stories about Miss Jan is when one day the doorbell rang.
There stood Miss Jan with our poodle, Princess. Someone left the gate open and Princess got out. Miss Jan brought Princess home with an
extension cord tied to Princess' collar. That was quick thinking!
We will all miss Miss Jan!

Missing you and your love and light every day. You were not only my mother, but also my friend for life, my neighbor, my traveling buddy and hang out girlfriend. All the incredible memories we shared will be forever. Caring for you as you grew older was an honor and a privilege. You were wise, bright, fun and sharp right to the end. I am a little lost without you. Your legacy will burn brightly always.

I loved seeing Jan at the theater and the movies. She even went to Happy Hour and had a good time. I think Jan, like her daughter Janice, was very young at heart. She is missed. My regards to her entire family.Felicia
