Jan Wilson Withrow

Jan Wilson Withrow, age 75 of Ocean Isle Beach, NC, passed away on September 14, 2020 at Myrtle Beach Manor.  He was born on December 1, 1944 in Washington, PA to William and Carrie Withrow.

Jan was an avid, lifelong sports fan. He played baseball at West Virginia University where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Economics and a Master of Science in Safety Engineering. He honorably served his country and was proud to be a veteran of the United States Army. He spent his career with DuPont as Director of Contract Manufacturing where he retired after 42 years of service.

Jan was happiest when on the sidelines cheering at his daughters’ sporting events and later in life his greatest joy was spending time with his 12 grandchildren. Delaware always held a special place in Jan’s heart because this is where he and Susan raised their 5 girls; created lifelong friendships and countless memories.

Jan was preceded in death by his father William and his sister, Pam Saunders.
