Tribute
December 4th, 1943 – October 11th, 2017
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Jan Green after a brief illness. Jan was born in Wiltshire, England, and was predeceased by her parents, Ray and Nancy, and her brother, Michael. She is survived by her nephew Darryl, great niece Freya here in Canada and her beloved cat Nimbus. Miss Green completed her professional training at the University of Southampton and held a Certificate in Education (with merit) from Weymouth College of Education. She joined the staff at Queen Margaret’s School in September 1975 and became a well-respected teacher as she ran the physical education department and taught junior school subjects. Before coming to QMS she taught in Surrey, England and at G. P. Vanier Senior School in Courtenay, BC. Miss Green held Level I coaching certificates in both field hockey and English equestrian and participated in courses and workshops in the Language Arts for the Junior School.
She was on several occasions awarded the Brian Craig Memorial Award for the female coach who best epitomized the qualities of sportsmanship and fair play.
Jan was a keen horsewoman and was well known in the local horse community. As a volunteer she served as Chairwoman of the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association, became involved with Community Policing projects and was deeply involved with the QMS Alumni Association. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Queen Margaret’s School, 660 Brownsey Avenue on Sunday.

Relation: A dear friend for over 25 years
Dear Jan was an “institution” here in the valley and will be missed by many. Our Riders breakfasts will not be the same without her.
From: Pat Fiddis
Relation: Friend
Sorry to hear that Jan has passed. I knew her through working with Community Policing and always saw her at the various QM events at the school. She will be missed.
From: Carol-Ann Community Policing
Was glad there was a change in plans and I was able to attend Jan’s celebration on life with so many other people who held her dear. I had to chuckle as people shared memories of Jan but kept a few Community Policing moments private for her memory. I shared with the volunteers that one of us is looking out for community safety and when you drove through a school zone especially, slow down to the posted speed and think of Jan.
From: Sandy Aumonier
Relation: She was my teacher
Miss Green was my phys-ed teacher when I was in grade 11 at G.P. Vanier S.S. Not only was she a wonderful teacher, but she was decent, kind and respectful human being. One of the best, and I will always remember her. Sandy Aumonier
