In Memory
Jan (Sovinski) Gavin
Jan (Sovinski) Gavin passed away peacefully on February 7, 2024. She was 72 years old.
Born on March 8, 1951 in South Bend, IN, Jan was the daughter of Richard and Betty Sovinski. She graduated from LaSalle High School and eventually moved to Bloomington, IN, where she remained until her death.
Jan worked in the travel business for the majority of her career and through this work, Jan was able to travel often, instill her love of travel in her daughters, and make many long-lasting connections to others. Jan was deeply involved in her community. She volunteered throughout her life, including at Wonderlab, Meals on Wheels, and serving as a foster for the Monroe County Humane Society. She loved spending time with her friends, daughters, grandchildren, and siblings.
Jan is survived by her three daughters, Megan Gavin (Art Keith), Courtney Madsen (Mike), and Colleen Uhles; her grandchildren Owen (17), Eva and Henry (15), Elsa (14), and Charlotte (10); and siblings, Paul Sovinski (Brenda Sands), Patrick Sovinski (Sarah), Peggy Judd, and sister-in-law Debbie Sovinski. She is preceded in death by her father, mother, and siblings Kathleen Sovinski and Peter Sovinski.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in Bloomington, IN. Though Jan may no longer be with us in body, her generous spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
