Jan's Story
I didn't finish high school with my class. Instead, I married very young and had two wonderful children. My parents were considered past the age that people have children. My Mother was almost 50 when I was born and my Father eight years her senior. They were both quite ill and I dropped out of school to help take care of Dad. I wasn't given the direction I needed so an early marriage took place that did not work out. I remarried several years later and had a precious daughter named Christy. All my children are precious. The marriage failed andI was single until 1996, at which time I married again and this time was smarter....finally.
I finished my high school education during all those years and moved on to College. I went to work in an accounting firm and was there for several years before being sent to a credit union to establish systems that would create a viable way of completing a merger that took place between six school credit unions. The remaining credit union was named Central Indiana Schools and offered membership to school employees in: Perry, Pike, Wayne, Greenwood, Franklin, Carmel, Washington, Plainfield, IPS, Speedway township school corporations. My position was President/CEO of CIS and was held for 27 years, with my retirement in 2007. I worked very hard during all of those years and ...Expand for more
loved my work.
My Board of Directors did not want to hire someone to replace me so I found a merging partner, Forum Credit Union, and merged with them in August 2007. The completed merger allowed me to retire.
My husband, a teacher at Washington Township Schools- North Central High School, retired at the end of 2007. We leased a new home in Venice Florida and spent January 2007 thru May 2008, there. We decorated, bought furniture and started basically over so that our home in Florida would be as nice as our home in Carmel, Indiana. We found a Methodist Church that we both like that is close to our Florida home and we enjoy going there and making new friends. We recently bought a condo that is the perfect size for us. It is 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and we are in the process of moving into it now. Retirement, I find, is the best part of life, except for your children. If you have your health and have both money and time, a winning combination but one that we worked really hard to obtain, it is a state of being that tops everything other part of life except the special times like having your children or grand children. I have 5 grandchildren. Two are girls and three are boys and I love them very much.
I have enjoyed my life and I hope that all of you have enjoyed yours as well.
