Jane Bechtel Obituary
Jane E. Bechtel, 85 years old, completed her adventure on Earth and transcended to the spirit world on June 26th, 2024, while in the company of her granddaughter Sam Bechtel and her son Ron Bechtel by her side. Two of her four sons, Danny and Guy, and her daughter, Sheri, waited to greet her on the other side. Jane was born December 26th, 1939, to her mother, Ollie Swindell, and her father, Cecil Patterson, in Exeter, California. She had a brother, Leroy Patterson, and a sister, Ethel Patterson. Jane retired from Jostens Printing and Publishing Company after working 30 seasons and bought herself a beautiful house in Visalia, CA, in 1967. She was generous, loving, and spiritual. She left behind her two sons, Ron and Steven, her daughter, Janel, her brother Leroy, and her grandchildren, Sam, Ronny, Blake, Brianna, Sky, and Shawn. We couldn’t have asked for a better mother, grandmother, and friend. We will miss you forever. Services in care of Hadley Marcom Funeral Chapel.
