Janice 'Jan' Mary Sali Obituary (1937

It was before sunrise on November 21, 2022, that our dear mother and beloved nana, Janice "Jan" M. Sali, was finally at peace, having lived the last several years of her life with vascular dementia. With her four daughters at her side, God our Father delivered her home. Jan was born to Alfred and Margaret Beaudry, on February 18, 1937, in Minot, North Dakota. The family soon welcomed Robert "Bob" Beaudry. They relocated from Minot to Tulare, California, ultimately settling in Yakima. Jan attended St. Pauls Parochial School and graduated from St. Joseph Academy in 1955. Following graduation, she attended Seattle University until such time her husband of 52 years, Stanley R. Sali, proposed marriage. They wed on August 10, 1957, at St. Pauls Cathedral, and began their married life on the orchard in West Valley, raising their four daughters, Cheryl, Pam, Lynette, and Kim. Upon retiring and selling the orchard in 1997, Mom and Dad moved "into the city" and enjoyed retirement welcoming and spoiling grandkids, traveling with the "travel group," and gathering with family and friends. Jan was a devout Catholic with memberships in numerous guilds over the years, and a parishioner of Holy Family Catholic Church until relocating to Kennewick, Washington in 2019, to be near family. She attended Yakima Valley Community College and earned her nursing degree as an LPN, initially working in obstetrics, and then as a hospice volunteer. Jan is survived by Cheryl Baldwin, son-in-law, Kevin Baldwin, of Kent, Washington, Pam Sali Tracy, son-in-law, Kent Tracy, of Camarillo, California, Lynette Sali, of Newcastle, Washington, and Kim Gough, son-in-law, Eric Gough, of Kennewick, Washington. Nana is also survived by six grandchildren, Spencer Baldwin, and his wife, Kelsi Baldwin, of Renton, Washington, and their daughter, Lilli Kathryn, age 18 months, Trevor Baldwin, of Kent, Washington, Lauren Tracy Anderson, and her husband, Kevin Anderson, of Huntington Beach, California, Cole Tracy, and his fiance, Elizabeth Nerland, of Camarillo, California, Britney Gough, and Tyler Fouty, of Pullman, Washington, and Karlie Gough, of Kennewick, Washington. She is also survived by sisters-in-law, Shirley Beaudry, of Tampa, Florida, Alice Hauck, of Yakima, Washington, and Beverly Sali, of Beaverton, Oregon, as well as several cousins, numerous nieces, and nephews. Her parents and brother, Bob, predeceased her, as did her devoted husband, Stan, who passed in 2009, her brothers and sisters-in-laws, Antone and Geri, Gregory and Wilkie, Philip and Maxine, Kasper and Marjorie, sister Georgianna and Charles LaRiviere.
