Janis lived in Lincoln and worked with a group of Lincoln dentists. She attended UNL and graduated from the University of Iowa and was a member of Chi Omega Sorority. Her passions were her family, numerous friends, her home and gardens, tennis and her beautiful companion, a standard poodle, Emma. Janis died February 2, 2008. She was survived by her mother, sibling and spouse and nieces and nephews.
Janis left an endowment to fund "Pitsch Green", a 2011 garden area at 33rd and Sheridan that includes a bench and a new bronze version of her beloved, "Emma".

A small triangle of city park across the street from Jan's former home has been established in Jan's memory and a sign posted names the area "Jan Pitsch Green". A bench with a brass marker also commemorates the area. Jan's park is located at approximately 32nd and Sheridan Blvd. on the south side of the street. To those responsible I want to express my appreciation. I often take walks along this street and I noticed the sign about two weeks ago.

How beautiful and so thoughtful of Janis, but then Janis was a beautiful and thoughtful person! Thanks for sharing so folks like me in Miami, FL can view and know about it. Virginia Hodgin Herrmann
