Jane and Kurt were like a mother and father in law to me. They were great aunt and uncle to my children, attending performances and swim meets and Jane set them up with a lifetime supply of beanie babies ! She was a class act and lived a long and worthwhile life, giving to her community. She had a great sense of humor and was a reasonable boss when sometimes I facilitated for her at PRP. I regret I will be out of town and unable attend the celebration of life. I´ll remenber her fondly.

I met Jane at the Jeffco costume shop in 2013. Over the years, she was always eager to hear what show I was working on. I spent a lot of time in the Jeffco costume shop in the last decade. Jane always displayed the cast photos I brought from the shows I costumed and I always felt proud that we had this great resource. She is greatly missed in the theatre community.

Sweet amazing Jane! I had the joy of meeting her in the Jeffco Costume Shop when I started costuming theater shows in 2013. I enjoyed every minute spent with her and would always bring her show photos and letters from the kids. She loved that costume shop and made it so great for so many in our community. She also always talked of her kids and grandkids and I know how much she loved to visit. I was so happy to hear when she retired that she would be going to be with her family in Arizona. My condolences to all her family. What a special, selfless, amazing women she was and will continue to live on in our hearts forever!

I have known Jane for years. I firs met Jane when I worked with her very dear husband Curtis back in early 2000's on Jeffco schools district committee. After Curtis passed, Jane and I became lunch buddies. She was a wonderful woman. So polished and poised. And such a sweet friend. She as talented and passionate about public education and contributed a great deal to the Jefferson Schools Foundation, along with her involvement in AWRSAY. Her time in the "Costume Shop" for Jeffco Schools is legendary. She will be missed all. My heart hurts hearing this news.
