Janalyn K. Page was born Tuesday, December 6, 1949 in Perryton, TX to Elliott D. Lee and Helen (May) Lee. She passed from this life on Monday, March 29, 2021 at her home in Broken Arrow, OK. She was 71 years of age. Jan was a 1968 graduate of Perryton High School. She attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, OK and earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with minors in Psychology and Sociology. Jan met her husband, Jim Page in Alva, and they were married on December 22, 1972 in Perryton. Jan taught 9th grade English for nearly 36 years at Perryton High School and later at the Top of Texas Accelerated Education Center. Jan spent many years serving as a cheerleading sponsor and junior class sponsor, which included the duties of operating the basketball concession stand and planning the junior and senior prom. Through teaching, she made many great friends and developed lifelong relationships with countless students. After retirement, Jan and Jim moved to Broken Arrow and Wagoner, OK, where she continued to teach as a substitute teacher. Jan always loved cooking and entertaining for family and friends. Her recipes have been shared and enjoyed across the country through her cookbook, Toast and Hot Tea. In addition, one of her favorite things to do was shop – at home or in any destination she visited. Many people can attest to the joy they experienced while shopping with Jan. She was accomplished at oil painting and China painting. Several of her China pieces were awarded blue ribbons at the Tulsa County Fair. Above all, Jan’s greatest love came from spending time with her family, especially her grandsons. Jan was preceded in death by her parents, Elliott and Helen Lee. She is survived by her husband, Jim, of the home; daughter Reagan Silva and husband, Mike of Ruston, LA; son Brett Page and wife Christy, of Broken Arrow, OK; and grandsons Ethan (8), Dylan (7), and Payton (4). The family requests memorials to the Ranger Academic Enrichment Foundation, P.O. Box 179, Perryton, TX 79070, or to Catholic Charities. A memorial service will be held 10:00am, Wednesday, April 7th at Church of St. Benedict in Broken Arrow.
