Wantage - Jane M. Dunstan, age 72, peacefully passed away on Sunday, January 12, 2025 at her residence with her loving husband by her side. Born and raised in Sussex to the late Theodore and Dorothy (Roveda) Margarum, Jane was a lifelong resident of the area, where she was known for her warm heart and commitment to both her family and community.

After retirement, she loved to spend time with her family; especially her grandchildren.
