Jane A Minton

Jane Ann Minton, age 70, passed away Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023 in her Mt. Sterling home with her husband by her side, after a courageous battle with cancer.

She was born in Findlay, April 26, 1952, to the late Harry A. and Doris J. (Christman) Parke. She married her best friend, David A. Minton March 24, 2000.

She is survived by two children, Stacy (Jason) Pierce of Knoxville, Tennessee and Ryan (Amy) DeVore of Chicago, Illinois; six grandchildren, Harrison, Anderson and Karrington Pierce, Timothy, Maggie and Joseph DeVore; two brothers, Tom (Jodi) Parke of Mt. Blanchard, and Richard Parke of Findlay.

Jane worked for telecommunications company, Ameritech, during the launch of cellular phones. She then transitioned to in-home support with Catholic Social Services and Suzie's Helping Hands until she subcontracted with Jane 4 Cleaning. She provided housekeeping assistance, companionship, grocery shopping, errands, and more. Jane will be remembered for her genuine interest in serving those in need, as she voluntarily delivered meals on Christmas Day with CSS, and generously provided gifts for children during the holidays.

Jane was also a sincere animal lover, caring for many pets during her lifetime, and providing homemade suet cakes for the birds who frequented her yard. She also enjoyed local festivals, farmers markets, crossword puzzles, bird watching, and treating family and friends to intimate gourmet dinners she lovingly prepared with her husband.

Services will be 11:45 a.m. Friday, Jan. 20th, beginning with an escort from Newcomers Funeral Home in Grove City to gravesite and burial at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Lockbourne. Pam Kimmel will be officiating. A very special thanks to the Loving Care Hospice team who provided exceptional care and support.
