1927 - 2015
Jane Lea passed away on May 21, 2015 in Seattle, Washington. The obituary was featured in The Seattle Times on May 31, 2015.
It's hard to believe it has been 8 years since Jane has passed. Even though she is no longer with us, her work with the Swedish Club continues with her generous donations through the Jane Lea Foundation she started there. She is missed by her many friends and those from the Friends Lunch bunch.

I met Jane when I moved to WA in 1967. She was very active in all things Swedish, including dancing, traveling to Sweden nearly every year, supporting the Swedish Club and Nordic Heritage Museum.

She will be greatly missed by all. I wish peace for her husband, Jim, in his loss.

Jane and I have been close friends for an amazing number of years--67 years! We first met in the Scandinavian Club at the U of W. Before long we were demonstrating folk dances with Nordiska, and continued to perform for many years. We always had fun together, whether it was eating Kringle at Larsen's Bakery; soaking in a hot tub in Vancouver, B.C.; hiking on the Great Wall of China; or just cruising on a ship.
