Kimmel, Jane Ann age 65 of Covington, Ohio passed away February 12, 2026 at Miami Valley Hospital. She was born December 15, 1960 in Dayton, Ohio to the late Norman and Ann Marie {Yahle} Cullars. She is preceded in death by her parents and her brother in-law Bob Homan. Jane is survived by her loving husband of 41 years Randy Kimmel, children Dustin (Kecia) Kimmel and Annelise (Fiancé, Michael Majors) Kimmel. Also surviving are her grandchildren Stella, Bennett, Sullivan, Montana and Navey, her siblings Pat (Caroline “Mona”) Cullars, and Julie Homan, several nieces and nephews and numerous loyal friends.
Jane was a world champion horse breeder whose passion, dedication, and keen eye for excellence earned her respect and admiration throughout the equestrian community. Her love of horses was more than a profession—it was a lifelong calling that reflected her patience, strength, and deep appreciation for beauty and grace.
Beyond her accomplishments, Jane found her greatest joy in her family. She cherished raising her children and was immensely proud of the people they became. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them, creating memories filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love.
Jane also delighted in life’s simple pleasures. She enjoyed trips to Lake Cumberland, where days were spent boating, relaxing on the water, and soaking in the peace she found there. She had a remarkable eye for antiques and design, transforming ordinary spaces into places of charm and character with her unique sense of style.
At home, she was devoted to her beloved pets, especially her faithful dog, Max, and her cherished cats, who brought her constant companionship and comfort.
Jane will be remembered for her strength, elegance, creativity, and, above all, her unwavering love for her family. Her legacy lives on in the lives she shaped, the beauty she created, and the many hearts she touched.
