Jan Worrell,  87,  a longtime resident of Pasadena,  Maryland,  died on June 23,  2013 at the Baltimore-Washington Medical Center. “Marjanet  Ann ‘Jan’ Worrell served as  a missionary in India for more than 13 years,”  recalled Nicky Ratliff,   executive director of the Humane Society of Carroll County.  “She retired in 1992 after 18 years as the head of Anne Arundel County Animal Care & Control in Glen Bernie.  Her shelter had the best computerized animal tracking system in Maryland,  long before there were commercial systems widely available.  She and six others formed the Professional Animal Workers of Maryland in the mid-1970s,  and began to provide training [for animal control personnel] with the help of the University of Maryland and local veterinarians.  PAWS is still benefiting those of us who continue the work she loved,”  Ratliff added.
