In Loving Memory of Jane Avon Maibauer, née McColl

August 7, 1946 – September 11, 2025

Jane Avon Maibauer, age 79, of Rochester, passed away peacefully at her home on September 11, 2025, surrounded by her family.

.

Born on August 7, 1946, in Detroit, Michigan, to Charles and Mary McColl, Jane lived a life marked by compassion, laughter, and unwavering devotion to those she loved. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and fabulous and fun friend.

Jane is survived by her husband and love of her life, Dr. Frederick Paul Maibauer, with whom she shared a beautiful life filled with joy and adventure. She was a devoted and proud mother to Margaret (Joe) Thell, Ann (Chad) Giebel, and Catherine (Matt) Campbell, and loving grandmother to Joe, Tony, Charlie, Ricky, Katie, and Delaney-each of whom brought her boundless pride and joy.

Jane was known for her warmth, quirky humor, and love of traveling and chocolate.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Mary; aunt, Margaret Yuill; and in-laws, Frederick and Florence Maibauer.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, September 17, from 3-7 PM at Potere-Modetz Funeral Home, 339 Walnut Boulevard, Rochester, MI. Funeral services at 11AM on Friday, September 19, at St. Philips Episcopal Church, 100 Romeo Street, Rochester, Michigan. Private burial at Van Hoosen Jones Stoney Creek Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Jane's memory to St Philips Episcopal Church, 100 Romeo St, Rochester, Michigan 48307.

Yesterday

Dr. Maibauer and family, Mike and I are so sorry to hear about Jane our friend. Actually, we are crushed, she was truly a warm caring and beautiful person. We have so many great memories with Rick and Jane.
Our evenings out sharing dinner and stories was always such a lovely time and I loved that we would get together often. One funny memory Mike had with Jane was when she was looking out the door at Janet Varners and realized Mike forgot to turn our sign on the front door to open so she got on the phone to let him know. Always looking out for us. We feel extremely blessed to have known Jane and will never forget her. Please know that you all are in our hearts and prayers. Fondly, Mike and Suzanne
