Jan Stewart, longtime Director of the Rose City Senior Center, passed away on Wednesday, December 1st at the age of 83 years old.
Anyone who has been associated with the Rose City Senior Center over the last 35+ years owes a great deal of gratitude to Jan as she was one of the main reasons the senior center is what it is today. Jan began her career with the Norwich Senior Center in 1975. In 1977 she was appointed Senior Affairs Director. In 1994, the Senior Center as you know it today, opened at our current location on Mahan Drive. Jan retired from the City of Norwich in early 2000. Jan had such a vision for what the older adult population needed and what they would need in the future. Our building was constructed to fit those needs and the programs and services followed.
Jan has served on the Senior Affairs Commission for many years and was involved in many community organizations such as Women’s City Club, Backus Hospital Auxiliary, UCFS Eldercare Committee, AARP #1004 and many other.
To say she will be missed is an understatement.
To her Husband of 64 years, their family and friends we sincerely express our deepest condolences.

A special thank you to all in attendance at our December 14th Pot Luck Club Luncheon. The food was delicious and plentiful. Great entertainment by Lenny Domina (and signers). Thanks to the great team of volunteers who were our wait staff and food servers including Cathy Brosnan, Maureen Domina, Jessy Walden and Amy Brosnan. Lenny Ruta was the turkey carver for the day and he didn’t leave one morsel of meal on the carcass, great job Lenny. Camaraderie was alive and well on this day, new friends and old shared memories. Did I mention that the wait staff and food servers were also the clean-up crew? Yeah team from the dishwasher lady!
