Aunt Jane it's been so many years that I saw you last with my Grandma. My Grandma loved you so much. All the family get togethers at your house with a big jump house and water balloon fights in yard with games outside. You always knew how to throw a great Family party. I wish people would have told me sooner I would have come to your wake and funeral, and brought my mom. The memory I always remember that's funny now and alway sticked out was one family party when I was young you called me "RACHELJANE" I was like to my Grandma Marian that's not my name! It's Rachel ! Just Rachel. My mom gave us all J middle names. I wish i could have gotten closer to you and your family. I was named Jane after you. My condolences and prayers are extended to family and friends of Aunt Jane. Rest in Heaven now with Jesus and my Grandma and the rest of your family. Can someone please let me know where I can visit her grave to pay my respects. Will always be in my heart Aunt Jane. Rachel Levendoski,AschbrennerMarian Green granddaughter.

Aunt Jane will be missed. I have many fond memories of traveling to the Camp Grove area and attending family parties when I was little with my grandparents Marian and Herb Aschenbrenner and my siblings. Sending comfort and prayers for the loss of Great Aunt Jane.

Jane was a long time member of the St Francis Medical Center golf league and a valuable golfing buddy! Loved walking till age caught up with her and then rode a lot of evenings. We had many fun chats about farming, living in the country and all that entailed growing up! I will miss those chats and the fun game of golf with her.
Hit em long and straight Jane!

I worked with Jane early on and she had a large roll in shaping my career in Histology. Thank you Jane. She was a great lady and will be missed.
