To the family, many, many friends, colleagues and fans of this wonderful actress Ms. Jane Withers fine comfort with you during this difficult time in your lives. May the love and the special memory you shared with her show just how much your life was touched by her. We hope many of the encouraging words and thoughts on this site comforts you during this difficult time also. We enjoyed many of the movies and her role as the Comet cleanser commercials, where she played Josephine the Plumber to whom she brought much laughter and joy too. May family, friends and extended family find comfort in your wealth of fond memories together and cherish her memories. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives.

Jane was memorable. Her facial expressions were unforgettable. She didn't think that she could compare with Shirley Temple, but why bother to emulate someone else when you have such an appealing and expressive personality as Jane had. She was memorable. Rest in peace, Jane Withers

Jane Withers was a joy to watch, whether it was in a movie, in a television role, or as "Josephine the Plumber"...such a gifted and talented lady! So sad to lose one of the greats from the past, but her extraordinary legacy will continue to bring joy to viewers in the years to come!

Rest In Peace Jane Withers! I love to watch her movies along with her friend Shirley Temple. I love Bright Eyes (classic movie) when she played spoiled brat who wanted Tommy gun instead of dolls. God bless her and her family!

Dear Ones - So many people in Texas contacted me when they heard the news. She led a fantastic life
and so many people in Dallas remembered her fondly. She was so lucky to have such wonderful children and grandchildren to share all of those incredible memories and so many lively stories with in life.
So many people asked about Wendy and Bill and shared some really great news with me that I would
like to share with you about a very fortunate turn of events - I have left my email with this Guest Book.
I trust you all know that I wish you all only the very best and my deepest condolences in the passing of
your Mother and Grandmother.
Be safe and well
Love,
Donnell Wells

Hi, Jane. You probably don’t know me. But my name is Roberta Michelle Henley, but you can call me, Roberta since all of my friends do anyway. And I'm 33 years old. And I’m a huge fan of yours. I would like to say, thank you for bringing to life one of the funniest gargoyles I’ve ever seen in the famous and popular Walt Disney movie, The Hunchback of Norte Dame. I am very grateful for it. I enjoyed your character making me laugh and always putting a smile on my face every time. I didn’t know that you brought her to life until now when I saw that article about you on Facebook saying that you passed away. And you can’t even imagine how how sad this is. I’m going to miss you with all of my heart and my soul. I appreciate you. I will be thinking about you whenever I watch the famous and popular Walt Disney movie, The Hunchback of Norte Dame.
