Janis “Jan” was born to Henry and Bernice Repp on December 7, 1928, at home in Oshkosh.

Jan will be remembered for her witty humor, one liners and her generosity. The best time of her life was raising her five children and visiting with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Jan collected cookbooks and loved cooking for the family. She enjoyed crocheting for her grandchildren and loved to travel; Paris was her favorite. Also, she enjoyed gambling, with her lucky number being seven. She was a member of various dance clubs and the Oshkosh Boat Club.

Jan worked for the Samuel Heaney Estate for 21 years and volunteered for 13 years at Mercy Medical Center.

Janis is survived by her children: Ron (Ruth) Hoppe, Barbara (Jerry) Durham, Jeff (Jean) Hoppe, Tom (Ann) Tollard and Tim Tollard; sister, Pamela Walker; grandchildren, John (Carla) Hoppe, Jeremy Durham, Matt (Kelly) Hoppe, Tracy (Bob) Maynard, Tanya (Chance) Astrack, Trisha (Brian) Weinke, Travis Tollard, Luke (Emily) Hoppe; great-grandchildren, Julia Hoppe, Jake and Madeline Maynard, Sienna and Blake Weinke, Claudia and Charlotte Astrack, Thomas and Jack Tollard, Melody Hoppe, and Audrey and Celia Hoppe.

She was preceded in death by her husbands, Ralph Hoppe, Russell Tollard and Harold Ravy; granddaughter, Paula Hoppe; great-granddaughters, Jenna Hoppe and Claire Astrack.

The family would like to thank the nurses, staff, and kitchen at Park View Health Center for all their compassion given.
