In loving memory of Jane Minch. "Well done, good and faithful servant..." Matthew 25:21

Our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother went home to be with the Lord and Savior on April 10th, 2024. Mom was born on Dec. 14th, 1932, in a home on Date Avenue in Laurel, MT. Mom grew up on the Kamp family farm located between Laurel and Billings and graduated in 1950 from Laurel High School. During high school, she worked at the Laurel Royal Theater. It was there that she met "her Charlie" while selling popcorn. After dating, they were soulmates for life. They married on September 1st, 1951, in San Diego, CA when Charlie was in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. Mom and Dad enjoyed fishing, camping, sporting events and family functions. They enjoyed cruises and traveling. Mom especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Jane was a devoted stay-at-home mom while her three children were growing up. She taught Sunday school and was active in her church, LWML. After her children grew up, she worked at Montgomery Wards Dept. Store for 10 years. At the age of 91, mom was an honorary member of LWML. She was still active making quilts where she enjoyed her relationships with the other ladies, especially her dear friend, Arlene Guenthner.
