Beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Janice "Jan" Greathouse Oefinger went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on June 26, 2015, at her home on the family ranch north of Hondo. She was born January 10, 1945, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to Urban Carter and Opal Coralee Flessa Greathouse. After moving to Woodsboro, Texas, with her family in 1948, she attended and graduated from Woodsboro High School in 1963. She continued her studies at South Texas Business College in Corpus Christi. She joined her husband and high school sweetheart, Larry Lee Oefinger, in marriage in 1964. Together they lived in Kingsville, Texas where she worked for Celanese Corporation in the engineering department. Following Larry's graduation from Texas A&I in 1967, the couple moved to Bishop, Texas where she continued to work for Celanese while Larry was employed by Bishop ISD. In 1970, the Oefingers moved to Hondo where Jan held various positions as a legal assistant and secretary. During this time, she faithfully mothered her two daughters and worked part time as a legal assistant. In 1976, their third daughter was born, and she continued to fulfill her priority as a wife and mother. It had been a dream of Jan's to own her own business, and in 1979, her dream became a reality when the doors of Serendipity were opened. Jan enjoyed serving the community from 1979 to 1995 through her retail gift shop, serving the needs of brides through bridal registry, floral design, and gifts for the home. She spent many hours designing floral arrangements to bless others during times of joy and sorrow, and Serendipity became an extension of her creative and artistic gifts. Driven by her faith in Christ and her desire to minister to the needs of others, she spent much of her time serving the body of Christ at First United Methodist Church, New Fountain United Methodist Church, and in the Emmaus Community. She would count some of her greatest moments in her Christian life as a lay director sharing her faith with others on the "Walk to Emmaus." In recent years, she and Larry especially enjoyed traveling to the mountains of New Mexico, Colorado, and Glacier National Park, and during their retirement years she painted with friends, attended Bible studies and traveled to visit her girls in Midland, Austin and Hondo. Many joyful years she spent caring and nurturing her growing family of three daughters, three sons-in-law, and ten grandchildren. Ultimately, Jan was driven by her desire to be a witness for Christ. From the moment she received Christ at the age of 17 and was baptized, until her last years enduring a debilitating illness, her faith kept her strong. She would mostly want to be remembered as a follower of Christ who "fought the good fight and finished the race." She is preceded in death by her father, Urban Carter Greathouse and her mother, Opal Coralee Flessa Greathouse. Survivors include her faithful husband who cared for her during her long illness, Larry Lee Oefinger; her three daughters and sons-in-law, Tammy (Joe) Williams of Tulsa, OK; Sherri (Bill) Peckman of Bee Cave, TX and Jenny (Clint) Gray of Hondo. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren: Benjamin, Krysten and Caleb Williams; Nathaniel, Rachel, Hayden and Anna Lee Peckman; and Mason, Lauren, and Ethan Gray; and her sister, Deanna (Ozzie) Strouhal of West Columbia, TX. Visitation will be held at Guinn-Horger Funeral Home in Hondo on Sunday, June 28, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Funeral services will be Monday, June 29, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. at New Fountain United Methodist Church in New Fountain. A reception will be hosted by their church family in the Fountain of Life Center at New Fountain United Methodist Church following interment at Hondo Cemetery. Memorials may be made to New Fountain United Methodist Church building fund or a charity of choice in Jan's honor.
