Jane Hellard Huffstetler, 76, of Green Cove Springs, Florida, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2025. Born on October 17, 1948, in Charlotte, North Carolina, Jane was the daughter of the late Jess Franklin Hellard Sr. and Vonceil Driggers Hellard.

Jane was a woman of creativity, faith, and quiet strength. She poured her heart into everything she touched - whether she was crafting something beautiful, creating with her hands, or finding new ways to bring color and care into the lives of others. Those who knew Jane remember her as gentle but firm, kind yet spirited, always ready to speak her mind when it mattered most.

She was a devoted wife to her husband of 55 years, Thomas Neal Huffstetler Sr., and a loving mother to Thomas Huffstetler Jr. and the late Franklin Wade Huffstetler. Jane's family was her greatest joy, and her pride shone brightest when she spoke of her grandchildren, Lindsy and Andrew Huffstetler. She also leaves behind her daughter-in-law, Angela Huffstetler, who she loved dearly.

Jane was a proud graduate of Clay High School, Class of 1967. She loved her town and found peace by the river in Green Cove Springs - a place that became her sanctuary.

Her legacy is one of love, faith, and creativity - a reminder to make something beautiful, to speak truth kindly, and to always find peace at the river.
