One of Jan's greatest loves was being the team cheerleader for all her nieces' and nephews' sports activities. One of the proudest moments of her life was receiving the POLL 2014 Blues Crews ‘Lifetime Fan Award'. Jan would arrive at games an hour early just to welcome her team at the front gate. Those who knew Jan were very aware of her passion for the Razorbacks. Jan knew what being a Razorback was all about, and she was more than happy to share it with you. Jan was a beloved member of Westminster United Methodist Church of Houston. Her family is partnering with Goodwill Houston in launching the Jan Irwin Memorial Employability Fund (to help other Jans). In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to Goodwill Houston, 1140 West Loop North, Houston, Texas 77055. (Memo – Jan Irwin Memorial Employability Fund).
