Janaan M. Arand, age 82, of Stockton, passed away peacefully on Tuesday July 9th, 2019.
She was born May 4th, 1937, in Dubuque, IA; the daughter of Joseph and Marie Madigan. She attended Elizabeth High School, graduated in 1955. On June 21, 1958, she married the love of her life and soulmate, Robert Arand. Together they had 6 children.
Janaan was a devoted member of Holy Cross Catholic Church. She enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren in their various activities. She enjoyed gardening, feeding the birds, watching the squirrels, having coffee with friends at Stella’s and spending winters down south.
She was a very loving wife, and a devoted mother and grandmother, whose doors were open to all. She loved holidays and family get together; any chance to spend time with family was important to her. She especially enjoyed cheese and crackers after Sunday mass and was an avid Wheel of Fortune fan.
Janaan will be greatly missed by family, friends and loved ones. She lived a full life, complete with laughter and sorrow. Although we will miss her physical presence in our lives, we will not just grieve, but also celebrate her life as it was fully lived.
She is survived by her daughter, Amy (Shawn) Haas, of Stockton; sons Mick (Patty) Arand and Tony (Jennifer) Arand, of Stockton, and Ric (Cara) Arand, of McConnell; 15 grandchildren; 5 great grandchildren; her sisters, Mag, Kathy, Beth and Sue; and her brothers, Bob, Mark, and Dennis.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Bob; her son, Timmy; her daughter, Tina; her parents; and three brothers, Louie, Pat, and Dave.
