Dedicated to her work, Jane served as an Administrative Assistant at Columbus City Schools for 39 years, where she was known for her diligence and kindness, a testament to her generous spirit and love for education.

In her community, Jane was a nurturing force. She dedicated many years as a Girl Scout leader, was an enthusiastic member of a Bridge club and women's circle, and participated joyfully in her church choir. Jane found joy in knitting, working on jigsaw puzzles, and delving into word search challenges and Sudoku. Known for her green thumb, she took great pleasure in gardening. Above all, her deepest joy came from spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her faith and love for the Lord were unwavering and a guiding light throughout her life.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Jane's honor to Care360 Hospice, with envelopes available at the funeral home.

Janes's memory will forever be treasured by those who knew her, and her indomitable spirit will continue to inspire all those whose lives she touched.
