Jana Sue Breneman – 1952-2018 Jana Breneman was born April 1, 1952, and passed away peacefully on Dec. 2, 2018, at her home in Indepen- dence, Ore., surrounded by her husband and sons. She was 66 years old. Jana is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Randy Breneman; her two sons, Sam Potter and Robbie Breneman; her three grandchildren, Lucas Potter, Kai Breneman and Alaina Potter; and count- less friends and family whom she loved with her whole heart. Jana, born Jana Sue Ricketts, was born on April Fool’s Day of 1952 in Toledo, Ore. She was the daughter of the late Herman Ricketts and Rosemary Lawson Ricketts. Jana grew up in Springfield, Ore., graduating from Thurston High School in 1970. Jana and Randy moved to Inde- pendence in 1980. They were married on Nov. 26, 1982. They got married the day after Thanksgiv- ing – she picked that day because it was the day after the holiday and she was sure she would be able to remember the date. Except … Thanksgiving moves every year so her plans were foiled. But the family has enjoyed the story ever since. Jana’s family, friends, music – and Pepsi – were the loves of her life. She would spend countless hours working on her music collection, ensuring that she had all of her different types of media catalogued in her computer so she could tell you whether she had a song on a 45, a CD, an album, an 8-track or a cassette. Any of you who have been to her house know about the “music room” and what it holds. Aside from her music, she was the first person to offer help to someone who she thought needed assistance. She would never put herself first – even when she probably should have – because she was constantly watching out for the needs of others. It was this selflessness that made Jana such a special person whom we all loved so much. So it makes sense that she worked most of her career in public service. While she spent some time in other agencies, she worked the longest helping customers at the Secretary of State Corporation Division. She made great friends there who would call her up to enlist her help and expertise. Jana had such a strong work ethic that she always went to work, even if she was sick. Jana worked for the State of Oregon for 28 years and 10 months before her retirement. Jana loved a lot. She loved going to the casino. She loved playing pinochle and Yahtzee and was way more competi- tive than she ever let on – just beat her at Yahtzee once and you’ll figure that out. She loved country music and a nice cold can of Pepsi – never a plastic bottle.

A celebration of life for family and close friends took place Dec. 8, 2018, at the Siletz Tribal Community Center. Per Jana’s request, this was a casual event. As she would say, “Come as you are.” In lieu of flowers, Jana would want you to take a family member out to the casino, drink a Pepsi and try to win a little money.
