Jane Marcel was born to Carl and Arvella (Rabbass) Nilson on January 26, 1943, in Wahoo, NE. She married William Niskanen on March 31, 1962, in Park Rapids. Jane was a manager at Northwestern Bell. She loved cardinals, singing karaoke. Jane was the kindest person and never said a bad word about anyone. She was very elegant but not fancy. Family was the most important thing in her life, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Jane is survived by her husband, William; children, Greg (Chris) Niskanen of St. Francis and Lynn (Russ) Guldenaar of Superior, WI; grandchildren, Brandon (Katie) Guldenaar, Abbie Guldenaar, Jaydin (Dane) Gassett, and Brody Niskanen; great-granddaughters, Kloie Guldenaar, Blakelii Fossen, Haydin Connolly, and Kaylin Guldenaar; siblings, Germ (Sue) Nilson of Hudson, WI, Steve (Jolynn) Nilson of Osage, Kathy (Earl) Hoeffs of Park Rapids, Don (Lorretta) Nilson of Park Rapids, Carla Haugaard of Anoka, and Karleen (Mark) Gerig of Balsam Lake, WI; and other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
