Janet "Jan" Louise Yeomans, 76 of Franklin, passed away on November 21, 2021.

Jan was born in Cincinnati, OH, to the late Albert Edmund and Dorothy Madeline Biedinger. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Daniel "Danny" Morgan Yeomans; her son, Greg Yeomans; her brother, Raymond Biedinger; and granddaughter, Alexandria "Ally" Marler. Jan relied heavily on the Lord for guidance through her losses and is quoted saying "Without my strong faith and reliance on the Lord, the love of my church family, friends and family, I would not have been able to carry on."

Jan, was blessed with hardworking, encouraging, Christian parents who moved their family to Bradenton FL. at the age of 7. There she enjoyed her school years and graduated from State College of Florida. She was always an exceptional student academically and behaviorally, except when she got in trouble for talking a lot. Throughout school her main interest revolved around music - singing, playing the piano and organ, and being in musical plays, but she decided to attend college to become a Legal Assistant. A path she believed was divinely laid out, as she would later lose her singing voice after being struck by lightning, while attending her children's BMX racing events.

She met her beloved husband Danny in a bowling alley during her college years. After their marriage she became a member of his church, Grace Baptist Church, where she served as church clerk, organist, and choir director. She and her husband, served as leaders of the pioneer girls also at Grace Baptist Church. After retiring from a Christian Law firm in 1995, She and Danny moved to Franklin NC. Here they promptly became members of Victory Baptist Church, where Jan served on the Hospitality committee, in the nursery and headed the lady's group for 15 years. She enjoyed watercolor painting, knitting, and creating greeting cards in her spare time. Jan adored her family, especially her grandchildren. She had a very special relationship with all her grandchildren and all of them had a different and unique bond.

She is survived by her daughter, Kimberly Marler; son in-law Warren Marler; daughter in-law Roxanne Yeomans; granddaughters, Danielle Marler, and Sierra Yeomans, great granddaughter Leigha Ballard, and several nieces and a nephew.
