JAN WESTLING

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/22/2015 - 7:33am

I already knew Jan Westling but one Saturday when I was walking through the Farmer’s Market in downtown Humboldt, she and her daughter, Amber, and her mother were sitting at a table selling cookies and other baked goodies. I found out in visiting with them that Jan and Amber have a lot of shared talents. A week or so later, I visited them in their home. Amber had a lot of talents to share with me. I even got a picture of Amber’s art she has gotten a blue ribbon for in the Webster County 4-H organization which I’m sharing with you today. Jan and Glen Westling reside in Badger, and have three children. They attend Faith United Methodist Church in Humboldt. Jan is the daughter of Jane Tubbs and the late Norman Tubbs. Glen’s parents are both deceased but always lived in and around the Badger area. Jan is an aide for UnityPoint of Fort Dodge.
