Her creativity and eye for design brought joy to countless brides, celebrations and special moments throughout the community.

Jane's greatest joy was her family; she absolutely loved going "up north" with her father, nieces and nephews, where they created many memories filled with stories, laughter, and togetherness. She adored spending time surrounded by family, whether it was painting a picture and adding it to her collection, or a cold Diet Pepsi, simple pleasures in her life mattered the most.
