Jan's Story
Hi Everyone,
After highschool I worked at Royal Columbian Hospital, then went to BCIT where I studied Psychiatric Nursing. In 1985 I married Gerald Dirksen (class of '80). We have two daughters Danielle (1986) and Haley (1988) and a cat Peaches (1995). We have lived in Kelowna since 1988 and love it. We spend our summers bobbing on the lake and soaking up the sun! Our oldest daughter, Danielle is an OR nurse at Kelowna General Hospital. Our youngest daughter Haley is a microbiology technician here in Kelowna. I have written a few books and am a depression recovery and transition life coach. Gerald works as a service manager at Water Canada. September 2007 we moved to a brand new home, which we love. It has a view of the city and has everything Gerald and I need on the main floor, so we see ourselves being able to grow old in this home.
