Our deepest sympathy to Uncle Al and family for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Aunt Jane. We often played tennis when I was young...I'd let her win. ;) She was intelligent, active and quick witted. Some of the fondest memories were of spending the night with our dear Aunts Jane and Edith and all the gatherings for meals at Grandma's house. Take solace in the fact that she is in a better place and resting peacefully.

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Aunt Jane was a dear, loving person. My deepest sympathy to Uncle Al. I'm sorry I can't be there to express my condolences to all our family in person. Know that I'm praying for her. Love and miss you all, Michelle DeRose Townsend

Jane was my first boss at LCC where I started in the Registrar's office as a work study student. I then went on to work full time for Jane in that same office. She was an extremely sharp dresser! I also remember how compassionate she was with the staff. I remember her taking me in the office to assist my growth as a professional. She impacted my early years in a very positive way, and I will always remember her fondly.

Aunt Jane was a dear, dear woman who touched all our lives. She was a major influence in my life and did more for me than I could ever repay. We all remember "spending the night" at Grandma's and having fun with our aunts. She will be missed.
