Jane was known through her work at Bartmans Nursing
Home, The Oasis Senior Citizens Center,
Hartsburg-Emden School, Harvard Park Elementary and
Carl Sandburg Elementary. Jane was an amazing wife,
mother, daughter, sister and friend. She will most
be remembered for her love of music and her ability
to love people of all ages and circumstances. Though
she will be greatly missed, we rejoice knowing, that
because of her relationship with Jesus Christ, she
now rests in the arms of her Heavenly Father.
