JANE STABILE Obituary

STABILE, Jane (Sanford) Of Cambridge, formerly of Wayland, died at age 72, on July 23, 2025, at home with her family. Jane received a BA from Wellesley and an MBA from BU. She was a hospital administrator, tax accountant, gym manager and improv and stand-up comedy performer. She was also a world-champion Powerlifter, and an inspiration to many women who took her lead to pursue it. Jane was very active in First Parish Church in Cambridge, and served on various boards and committees during difficult transition periods, including Covid. Rooms didn't need lights when Jane was there; her beaming smile made them irrelevant. She loved her family and was happiest spending time with her grandchildren. Jane's deadpan wit could cut through the gloomiest of atmospheres. Jane is survived by her husband, Larry; daughters, Marianne, Paula and Kim; brothers, Brian Sanford and Arthur Sanford; and grandsons, Noah, Miles and Reid. A Memorial Service will be held for Jane, November 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM, at First Parish Church, 1446 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge.

Deeply saddened by the loss of my sister-in-law Jane. She was an amazing person and a beautiful soul. I've known her for 51 years and been her sister-in-law for 50. She was full of kindness, compassion and strength. Her passing has left a hole in the heart of her family, friends, and community. She will be remembered with love and light always.

So sorry for your family´s loss. I met Jane at TPS many many years ago and was inspired by her work ethic and strength. May you find her strength in the days to come.
