Obituary
STOUGHTON - Janice M. Skube, age 46, died unexpectedly the morning of Wednesday, April 2, 2014, in her home in Stoughton, WI. She was born in Lakewood, Ohio, on Nov. 18, 1967. Jan came to Madison to attend graduate school and received an MA in Philosophy from the UW-Madison in 1996. She married Jim Wildeman on Sept. 10, 2000, and in 2003 they settled in Stoughton, Wis. Jan worked in several libraries in the area including Madison, Sun Prairie and Stoughton. She enjoyed hosting parties, riding horses and was continually working on her tennis game. Friends enjoyed sharing her wry sense of humor, keen intelligence and her fabulous food. She brought style, beauty and elegance to everything she did. Jan was deeply loved by her friends and family and will be dearly missed. She is survived by her husband, Jim; her sisters, Marybeth Moore, Karen Denise Skube and Debora Lynn Skube Antos; nieces, Elizabeth Dodson Moore and LeeAnn Rose Shea; and a nephew, David Moore. A private memorial gathering will be scheduled sometime later this spring. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com

Jan and I worked together at the Sun Prairie Public Library. What I remembered most about her was that she was a rare individual She loved Neil Young, thought Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful woman, reminisced Mystery Science Theater, used incense and lighting to keep the winter blahs away, shared fabulous dessert recipes and other gourmet delights. I have thought of her often throughout the years. I am truly sorry to hear that she is no longer in the world. She will be missed.

Jan and I started working at the Stoughton library at the same time.
I have a collection of 'Jan' orchids. She used to buy these beautiful orchids and then when the flowers fell off she threw them away. Once I caught on, she started giving them to me. One of them is blooming right now. Our birthdays are two days apart, and I miss how we would go out for lunch. Great talks about philosophy, home renovations and cats.
