Janet Sanders Obituary

Janet "Jan" Beth (Compton) Sanders, beloved daughter, wife, mom, and friend, passed away on Monday, July 7, 2025, just days shy of her 62nd birthday. Born on July 19, 1963, Jan spent over 40 years in Big Spring, where she became a cherished member of the community and an unwavering advocate for those in need.

In her spare time, Jan found joy in the simple pleasures of life: solving puzzles, coloring, dancing and watching her favorite court shows. She cherished her family deeply. She loved spending time with her girls and grandchildren. Her pets, Little Bit and Reno, also brought her immense joy.
She is survived by her daughters, Kala Mann & Tanya McDaniel; father, Jimmy Compton; sisters, Terri (Bobby) Pearson & Tracy (Miki) Klempa; brother, Jerry Mann II; grandchildren: Jacob, Ryan, Kyle, Mason & Taigen; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
