Jan is Hazel Davis’s daughter and
was born in Hillsboro, moved to California when she was three in 1954
and returned to Forest Grove in 1964 with her family when Father died.
She went to Forest Grove High School and was confirmed at Mt. Olive
Church and has attended here most of her life. She was confirmed with
Parnell Jarrell, Marva Weise, and Stan Gerdes.
When she married she moved again to
California, then back to Forest Grove in 1973. She moved to 21st
and Elm next door to her Mother and then to her present home in 1977.
She has three children, Jim, Troy, and Dawn. Her husband was Catholic
and the children were baptized Catholic. The children enjoy both their
Anglo and Mexican heritage which they feel enhances their lives.
Jan is a probation officer and she
finds this fulfilling. Jan’s family also work in the Washington County
Court house probation offices. Her work load is 400 probationers which
is heavy but they are English speaking DUIL which makes the work load
manageable.
Troy’s work load is 70, which may
seem light, but they are Spanish speaking and represent all types of
offenders. Although Troy holds several degrees, he would like to go
back to school and study philosophy to get his Doctorate and teach.
Grandad Joe Davis wrote a book, G.I. Joe, and Troy edited and
recently got the book published.
Jan’s hobbies are swimming, square
dancing, “bird watching”, and especially spending time with her four
granddaughters.
Troy enjoys reading, world
traveling, and writing poetry. |
