While working in Kansas City Missouri in 1933 at Greyhound Bus Lines she met and married Gordon Stanfield Kaiser (originally from Port Bickerton, Nova Scotia Canada). They were married for over 50 years until Gordon's death in November, 1983. During their marriage they lived in Cleveland, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, Jacksonville, Florida, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Rochester, New York. Jane was active, physically, mentally and emotionally all of her life and had many interests, including literature, music, art, sewing, quilting, travel and bridge. But the most important things to her were her spiritual life, her friends and particularly her family. She brought warmth, humor, character, insight and integrity to all of these, and to the lives of all of those she touched, but most especially to her family and friends. She will be missed by them all.In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a contribution to one of the following or a charity of the donor's choice:In memory of Jane Helene Kaiser: Hospice of the Western Reserve Contributions 17876 St. Clair Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44110 or Eliza Jennings, for the benefit of The Renaissance 14701 Detroit Avenue, Suite 620 Lakewood, Ohio 44107.
