The daughter of Morris Joel Morrin and his wife Betsey "Bessie" Davidson Morrin, Jane Morrin...

She married Sol Shapiro, a noted photographer who captured the image of the famous pin-up Bettie Page during the 1940s. Because Sol was Jewish, he could not get work due to anti-Semitism in the photography industry, so to get around the restrictions he changed his first name from Sol to John, and took his wife's maiden name as his own - thus, he became John Morrin.

Jane is buried near her mother in the New Montefiore Cemetery in Babylon, in Suffolk County, New York.

Rest in peace, Jane. You are missed greatly.
