JAN ELLEN VERFURTH's Obituary
JAN ELLEN VERFURTH, 61, of Vienna, Virginia, passed on Thursday, March 9, 2023, after a long battle with esophageal cancer.
One of five children, Jan was born on June 29, 1961, in Tucson, AZ. A daughter of the late Jan Edward Verfurth and Anne Miller Verfurth, who both preceded her in death.
She leaves her family to cherish her memory including her four siblings: Ted (Christine), Rob (Serena), John (Susan), and Meg (Dave). She is also survived by seven nephews and four nieces.
Jan grew up in Dayton, Ohio, where she attended Carroll High School. She then moved to Fairfax, Virginia, graduated from W.T. Woodson High School and attended James Madison University, graduating in 1983. She was a proud sorority sister of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and remained close friends with many of them.
Jan was a hard worker spending the first half of her career as a Branch Manager at First Virginia Bank and the second half as a Bank Relations Specialist with the United States Postal Service.
She was a thoughtful sister, a loving daughter, a special aunt, and a faithful friend; a lady with a huge heart and always thought of others first. Jan accepted whatever life handed her with a smile.
Honoring her request, the family will hold a private ceremony and scatter her ashes in the ocean.
