Jane L. Miles passed away on December 1, 2025, in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, leaving behind a legacy that will forever resonate with those who had the privilege of knowing her. Born on February 17, 1953, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Jane brought joy and vivacity to everyone around her.

A beloved mother, Jane is survived by her son, Steven Peterson, and her dear sister, Shirley Brown. The bond they shared will undoubtedly carry on in the memories they created together. Throughout her life, Jane displayed a spirit that inspired those around her, and her laughter was a cherished sound that brought warmth to her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dagmar and Harold Ruuska. Their absence left a profound mark on Jane's life, and she often spoke of the love and lessons they imparted to her.

In her journey through life, Jane encompassed the spirit of resilience and kindness. Her radiant personality and genuine warmth will be remembered fondly by all whose lives she touched. As we honor her memory, we reflect on the incredible impact she made on those she loved, and her legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
