Jane was just a eonderful woman. My husband, Keith snd her were just best buddies since UD. She was Godmother to our eldest Tom. Jane was there with us through everything. I think when Keith passed away she was devastated, as were we all. The kids remember "Aunt Jane" bringing down the best cookies and watching videos of her swimming with the sharks. I would like to think they are both in heaven laughing and carrying on together. We are all so sad. Just can't believe this. Prayers for her family.

Jane was kind, thoughtful and generous to all who knew her. She was beloved by her family, friends and coworkers. She made a difference in many lives by taking genuine interest in people, contacting friends regularly and helping them in need. I was lucky to meet her at age 16, our friendship blossomed at University of Dayton. We were sisters in crime, laughing and diving around the world for 50 years. She will truly missed, but I know she is now in God's Loving Arms.

Jane was my first grade school friend. I loved going to her house and playing. I have fond memories of Jane , the young girl. She was a good friend. I see what wonderful things she accomplished in her life. My condolences to Brian, his family and all who love her.

Jane made it a point to keep in touch with my mother(her Aunt) throughout the years. She and I got closer due to the passing of our mothers and I recognized her devotion to family. Our last meeting was last April when she flew to Cleveland to attend my mother´s burial. We caught up on family matters over lunch. I will miss our phone chats. Rest in peace my dear cousin.

Jane was a wonderful person inside and out. She was a wonderful niece to my mother, Angela Ardelean, and always kept in touch.
Sympathy and condolences for her unexpected and sudden passing to the family.
