July 09, 1925 - October 07, 2022
Jananne Usher, 97, passed from this earth on October 7, 2022. She made it to 97 years due to her firm belief in vitamins! Jananne was born on July 9, 1925, in Salt Lake City, Utah to Albert and Marie Clark. She had many wonderful memories growing up in Salt Lake City. When she was 18, her family moved to Spokane, Washington. The summer of 1946, Jan met Joseph Usher at a dance in Liberty Lake, Washington. Those two loved to dance! They were married on February 15, 1947, and later sealed in the Cardston, Alberta, Canada LDS Temple. Joe and Jan were married for 70 years before Joe passed away in 2017. Jan was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Her greatest joy was being Mom and Grandma, and spending time with her family. Every grandchild has a favorite story (or picture) of her. Jan loved to play games; either around the kitchen table or camping in the trailer. In recent years she became the Yahtzee Queen. Jan was a substitute mom to many who “stayed awhile” at her home. She loved them all. Jan was blessed with many friends in her walk through life, whom she valued and kept in touch with until the end. She loved a good chat on the phone to those who lived far away. Even when her eyesight had failed her, she would recognize you from your voice. Thank you to everyone who added so much to her life. Jan is survived by her 4 children; Steve (Cathy), Greg (Debbie), Tim, Debbie (Joel), 13 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild coming in January. She is proceeded in death by her husband; Joseph Usher, and brothers; Howard Clark, John Clark, Russell Clark, and her great-granddaughter, Kayleigh Keeble. Memorial services will be Monday, October 24 at 1:00 pm, at the Sunset Chapel in Fairmount Memorial Park, 5200 W. Wellesley Ave. Graveside service will follow. A viewing for family and friends will be held from 12:15-12:45 preceding the funeral.
