Jane Frary Obituary
Jane Andrea Frary passed away peacefully in Carmel, Indiana on August 30, 2024, at the age of 69. Born in Perryville, Missouri on January 5, 1955, Jane lived life prioritized by faith, hope, love, and service to others.
She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Chuck Frary; by four children, Adam Sandefur, Lindsey Webster, Brooke McNally, and Adam Frary; by 12 grandchildren; her siblings Gary Kiefer, Susie Mueller, Kenny Kiefer, and Patty Bodling and their families; and by many more loving family and friends. If you ask any of them, they will all tell you how Jane lived dedicated to improving the lives of others, through sharing faith and through her lifelong career as a Nurse Practitioner devoted to nutritional wellness.
Jane was an athlete and brought her talents all over the United States. She has hiked mountain trails and biked along the beach, even setting down roots in some places. Everywhere she went, Jane made friends and was a leader, keeping herself busy with various committees and councils. Even still, she always managed to fit in a few puzzles.
She never wanted to stop learning and let her passions fuel her lifelong obsessions with books, tennis, nursing, and, eventually, pickleball. Those interests were always second to family, and she never ever forgot a birthday.
Her passing will be felt in all the lives she touched, and those who had the privilege of knowing her personally will forever remember the joy she radiated. We miss you more than words can say.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 7th at 11 AM at Aaron-Ruben-Nelson Mortuary, 11411 North Michigan Road. Friends are welcome to visit from 9 AM until the time of the service.
In lieu flowers, the family kindly requests donations in honor of Jane to one of the following organizations:

LoveServes International (www.loveserves.org)
The Joshua Fund (www.joshuafund.com)
