Janet E. “Jan” Coe
Janet E. “Jan” Coe, 74,
of Heppner, passed away
Monday, June 15 in Hep-
pner, surrounded by her
family.
She was born January
24, 1946 in Pendleton. Jan
was raised in Ukiah by her
father Colonel Thompson
until 1949 when he mar-
ried Chartlotte Badget. The
three eventually settled in
Milton Freewater where
Jan graduated from Mac Hi
High School in 1965.
Jan worked in the health
industry in the Walla Wal-
la area. She married Tim
Coe in 1972 and became
stepmother to Sheri and
Sheila. The couple moved
to the Hughes ranch near
Heppner where they raised
their children, Tricia, Scott
and Char. Tim and Jan later
divorced.
Jan lived in the Heppner
area for 40 years where she
resided until her death. One
of her first jobs while rais-
ing her children was driving
a suburban from their ranch
house on top of Franklin
Grade, which began her
career with Mid-Columbia
Bus Company.
She drove bus for more
than 25 years for Mid-
Co. Bus. She enjoyed tak-
ing kids to many sporting
events and supporting the
Mustangs. Jan drove nearly
the same bus route during
her tenure at Mid-Co Bus.
She touted that she could
drive those roads with her
eyes closed. Jan was quite
fond of each family she got
to know over the years on
her route and would always
brighten a student’s day
with her stories or sweet
snacks. She also worked for
the Heppner School District
in the cafeteria.
Jan enjoyed attend-
ing her grandchildren’s
sporting events and other
activities. From baseball
and wrestling to rodeos and
steer shows, she made sure
she did not miss an event.
Jan also attended nearly ev-
ery Mustang sporting event.
According to her family,
she loved her grandkids
and loved sharing stories
of them and made sure they
knew how proud she was of
them. She was also proud
to share that pride with her
friends, sharing stories of
her grandchildren’s suc-
cesses.
She raised show quality
Standard Collies and loved
sharing her passion of col-
lies with others. Raising
Standard Collies began at
a young age, and that love
was rekindled when her
children purchased a show
quality collie for her as a
gift in 2002. Jan also had a
love for horses and passed
that gift on to her kids and
grandkids.
Jan loved her commu-
nity and was a 4-H leader,
where she taught cake dec-
orating and was an integral
part of the 4-H snack shack
during the Morrow County
Fair for several decades.
She was awarded the Mor-
row County 4-H Volunteer
of the year in 1991.
Jan is survived by her
children, Tricia Lorence
(Jon), Scott Coe (Nikki),
Char Bracher (Randy) and
step daughter, Sheila Scott
(Tracy); her grandchildren,
Paul Lorence, Drew, Jace
and Addison Coe, Sydney
and Blair Bracher, Brianna
and Justin Hansen, Acacia
and Cory Dallman and
Justin Winter; brother, Fred
Thompson and many nieces
and nephews. Jan was pre-
ceded in death by her par-
ents, Colonel and Charlotte
Thompson; sister, Patricia
Alexander; stepdaughter
Sheri Coe and nephew, J.C.
Thompson.
Memorial contributions
in Jan’s name may be made
