She married Kirk Dickey on November 30, 1985. Jann’s greatest blessings were her devoted husband, Kirk, and their beloved children, Ryan and Kate Dickey.

Jann was a member of New Hope United Methodist Church in Des Moines. Serving her church with a passion was a hallmark of Jann’s involvement with the congregation.

She graduated from Des Moines Roosevelt High School and Iowa State University. She spent most of her career as a freelance graphic designer, including several years at Meredith Corporation.

Jann lived life with an artful flair that made life richer and more beautiful for all who knew her.

She is survived by her husband, Kirk; son, Ryan; and daughter, Kate of Johnston; her future son-in-law, Dave Cossa, Jr.; parents, Rev. Dale J. and LaJeune Williams of Indianola; sister and brother-in-law, Lynanne and Steve Wilson of Charlottesville, VA; parents-in-law, Richard and Darlene Dickey of Des Moines; and many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephew, and close friends.

There will be less whimzy in life without her.
