Jan Clair earned her LPN from Valdosta State College in 1983. She followed her passion and was a nurse at the Adcock Orthopedic Clinic in Moultrie, Phoebe Putney Hospital in Albany, and Tallahassee Memorial. A move to Atlanta changed her career path, and she became a manager for the Peasant Restaurant Group. By the end of this chapter, she had ascended to be General Manager for Darryl’s Restaurant & Bar in Knoxville, TN. She took up her passion once more, earning an RN degree from Carson Newman College in Tennessee. She returned to Moultrie in 2003 and served as a registered nurse at Colquitt Regional Medical Center until her retirement in 2013.

Jan had a strong spirit and a love for animals (especially cats and horses), gardening, motorcycles, the beach, boating, and exploring nature.
