Jan Balson: A Life of Love and Dedication

Jan Balson, a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and cherished memories. Born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1949, Jan was a proud Buckeye through and through. She earned her bachelor's degree from Ohio State University, and her loyalty to her alma mater was evident in her enthusiasm for Ohio State football games.

Jan dedicated nearly 40 years of her life to a single employer. Her professional journey was a testament to her steadfastness and reliability, qualities that shone brightly in all aspects of her life.

Jan's greatest joy, however, was her family. She was deeply devoted to her loving husband, Mark Balson, and their two children, Josh and Sara. Her heart swelled with pride and affection for her three grandchildren, Marcos, Jack, and Willa.

Jan's quiet demeanor often concealed the depth of her love and spirit, which she reserved for those closest to her. To her family, she was a source of unwavering support, warmth, and countless cherished moments.

Jan Balson will be profoundly missed by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and cherished memories that will be forever treasured.

Family will receive friends from 1pm-2pm Saturday, April 26, 2025 at the TIDD FUNERAL HOME, 5265 Norwich St., Hilliard, OH 43026; where a memorial service will follow at 2 pm.
