Jan Crouch, the world famous co-founder of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, died yesterday, just a few days after suffering a severe stroke.
She was 78 years old.
Crouch's family made the sad announcement late Tuesday on the California-based Trinity Broadcasting Network's website.
"Viewers of the Trinity Broadcasting Network knew her as someone who partnered with Paul Crouch in the launch and expansion of TBN, and as someone who came into their homes for over 40 years," Matt Crouch, her son and TBN's president, viaa written statement.
He added:
"To thousands of orphans around the world, and those orphaned in spirit, she was Momma Jan, quick with a smile, a gift, and a word of encouragement."
Crouch was universally recognized for her bevy of blonde hair, constant smile and long eyelashes.
Along with her husband Paul, she founded the network in 1973 by renting air time on an independent California station.
At this point, Trinity officials say its programming is now carried by over 5,000 television stations, with TBN promoting itself as the world's largest Christian television network.
Last week, the network confirmed that Jan Crouch had suffered a stroke in the Orlando area, where TBN owns the Holy Land Experience theme park.
A year before Paul Crouch died in 2013, The New York Times detailed the lavish living of Paul and Jan Crouch, going over how they actually spent ministry money.
The couple's lifestyle, according to the newspaper, included numerous homes, corporate jets and thousand-dollar dinners.
In response, their lawyer said the expenses were used to benefit TBN, which earns money from viewer donations, airtime sales and investments.
We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Jan Crouch.
