Union Grove – Janice Jean (nee: Rank) Dreger, age 67, passed away on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 surrounded with the love of her family, following a courageous battle with thyroid cancer.

Janice was born in Wisconsin Rapids on August 6, 1952 to Edward and Lorraine (nee: Feldt) Rank. A 1970 graduate of JI Case High School, she was employed for over 40 years as a secretary at Racine Unified School District. Jan was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Union Grove.

Jan was a very selfless person….if you needed help she would be the first one to offer her time. Among her interests, Jan enjoyed reading, fishing, casinos, rummage sales, shopping, art – especially painting and was a longtime patron of the Racine Theater Guild. Above all, she loved spending time with all of her family and friends – especially her grandchildren.

Surviving are her daughter, Jody Dreger; grandchildren, Heather Poisl, Anna Yarrington, Morgan Yarrington and Scott Yarrington; mother, Lorriane Campolo; brothers and sisters, Larry (Elo) Rank, Jim (Char Massey) Rank, Nancy Rank, Dale (Jan) Rank, Diane Rank and Carol Rank; sisters-in-law, Tessy Rank and Kelly Rank; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Jan was preceded in death by her father, Edward Rank; brother, Ken Rank; and brother-in-law, Jim Dodson.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, October 12, 2019 at 11:30 am in St. Paul's Lutheran Church (1610 Main Street in Union Grove) with Pastor David Ramirez officiating. A luncheon will follow. Visitation will be in the church on Saturday from 9:30 – 11:15 am. In lieu of flowers and in memory of Jan, do a kind deed for someone in need.

A heartfelt note of thanks to Ascension Hospice and to Nancy, Carol, Tessy, Jennifer& Pat for all that you did for Jan in her time of need. May God bless all of you!
