She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Blaine, siblings John (Jean) Haggerty, Mary Jane (Bob) Toner-Dohrer, James Haggerty, and in-laws Bill (Janann) Hancock, Calvin (Margaret) Hancock, Jim Hancock, Sr. Janice Hancock, PVBM, and Bob Runde.

In lieu of flowers, a Janaan Hancock Memorial Fund has been established.

Janaan’s family would like to thank the nurses and staff of Stonehill Care Center, and Hospice of Dubuque, especially Chris Weber, and all her “adopted” daughters who cared for her over the years.
