Jane was a stay-at-home mom. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family, family reunions and the many birthday and anniversary celebrations held over the years.
She never spoke a mean word about anyone but saw the best in everyone she knew.
Jane had an unbelievable memory. She loved bingo and trips to casinos and was envied by her good luck! She loved all animals and during her recent years of being homebound was entertained by the amusing antics of her special friends Willy & Walter the squirrels, and Henry the mouse who came to her windowsill daily for treats. Also her lap cats Baby & Cupid.
We cannot omit mentioning Janes special caregiver for over 7 years, Jane Kline, who made her life so much easier for her. Jane was a dedicated, loving and gentle woman who became more a close family member and will never be forgotten. Also, a special thank you to Home Instead caregivers that provided exceptional care and friendship to family.
