Jane Case Belt

Jane Case Belt, born July 8, 1947, in Mansfield, Ohio, passed away surrounded by love and the legacy of a life well lived. She was the daughter of Betty and Harry Case, both of whom preceded her in death.

Jane grew up in Kenton, Ohio, where she developed a strong work ethic and lifelong friendships. She earned her undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University and later completed her master's degree in Arizona. She played competitive golf in college.

Jane devoted her professional life to nursing, a career that reflected her compassion, leadership, and dedication to caring for others. She served in many roles, including Director of Nursing for nursing homes and as a consultant, earning the respect of colleagues and improving the lives of countless patients and staff throughout her career.

She is survived by her son, Bryan; his wife, Caren; and her three beloved grandchildren, Nate, Nick, and Lauren, who were the light of her life. Jane is also survived by her brother, Bob and her bonus grandchildren, Gabrielle, Tony, Joey, Lexie, Sam and Syd.

Jane had a deep love for animals, her family, and the game of golf. An excellent golfer, she could often be found on the course at OSU, enjoying the game she loved so much. When she wasn't golfing, she was enthusiastically cheering on her grandkids at their sporting events-or sharing laughs and Fireball shots with friends and family.

Jane will be remembered for her sharp wit, generous heart, competitive spirit, and unwavering love for those closest to her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her memory will live on in the stories, laughter, and traditions she leaves behind.

Mass of Christian Burial will be Celebrated at 10:30 am Tuesday, January 6, 2026 at St. Peter Roman Catholic Church, 6899 Smoky Row Road, Columbus, Ohio 43235 with Burial to follow at Resurrection Cemetery.
