It's with great sadness that we learned of Jan's passing. We remember her as full of joy and grace. I (Jean) will always remember the chocolate cakes she baked for the SF staff in celebration of our birthdays. Our prayers are with you, Ron, and your family.

Our condolences to your family. We have had the privilege and pleasure of being friends with Jan for 7 years. She felt like family and will be missed immensely. We loved her huge heart, generous nature, and sense of humor. We enjoyed seeing her and the fur babies in Kona town and on our outings in the neighborhood. Aloha Jan , we love you

Ron, Janet and I were so sorry to learn of Jan's passing. My memories of her are filled with smiles and laughter and I can only imagine your feeling of loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. - Jim Petrucci

Sending my sincerest condolences to Ron and the entire Smith family for the loss of Jan, a woman of boundless spirit. Sincerely, Pat Baran

To my favorite crazy aunty, there will never be another one like you. I will miss our 2 hour gossip chats and your bright and vibrant light shining my way. You´re playing ukulele in the stars now, and I´m sure grandma will be waiting with open arms. No words to express my shattered heart that you are gone. I love you.
Your favorite crazy niece

Aww so many beautiful memories of our beloved and beautiful Jan. I have had the pleasure of spending hour and hours with her sitting in our store, where she hang out with us practically everyday . She make the best fudge for Christmas, she take care of all of us at Kona Inn Shopping Centre bringing us lunches gifts and goodies and she always knows when we need a visit from her and her beautiful Konaboy.
She always makes sure to check and see what our costumes for Halloween will be. She dresses for every traditional occasion. And boy oh boy she is a shopper, she help so many of us during the COVID shutdown to keep us going. Darling Jan you´re miss, I know we were making arrangements withSusan Sharon Hidem and I was planning to celebrated your birthday in Kona. May you rest in peace and we will keep our memories of in our heart going. So happy to be part of your life and spend valuable moments with you. A angel was call home.
