Publish in a newspaper
Jane dedicated her life to caring for her family. She loved teaching. She earned her degree in Education from University of West Florida, and spent 20 years teaching 3rd grade at Redeemer Lutheran School in Northeast Philadelphia.
She also taught other grade levels from 1970-73, in San Antonio,Tx, 1975-78 in Lubbock, Tx, 1978-81 in Moore, Ok, 1981-85 in Ft, Walton Beach, Fl, 1990-92 Our Lady of Grace, Penndel, Pa, & several Philadelphia area schools as part-time locations. She tutored children & adults in English second language subjects.
Jane was known for her warm smile, passion for teaching and history, and working with children to foster their creativity. She liked to spend her time reading, watching classic movies, loving and caring for several cats for over 50 years, and playing Mahjong. She was both optimistic and tenacious. One of her favorite quotes was from Winston Churchill: "Never, never, never give up."
She also embraced the idea of forgiveness with loved ones. She once said, "Mistakes are not as important as what the person means to you." Jane is survived by her husband Lynn, sons Christopher, Michael, and Andrew, grandchildren Ciara, Brianna, Max, Lexi, great grandchildren Kai, Azriel, and siblings Linda Rineman, Donna Fogle, & David Nelson.

Mrs. Leppo thank you for being one many favorite teachers that made impact on my life at Redeemer so long ago. I look back on my times where we shared Hershey bars during math tutoring sessions after school. You will forever be remembered and I am glad that I was many students to have been graced by you. I will remember your lessons fondly, but to your family I offer my condolences and my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
