Jane Pantano

Jane Pantano of Allentown, PA, formerly of Kenilworth, NJ, passed away on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2026, at the age of 59. She was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey to Pasquale and Beatrice Pantano and was raised in Kenilworth, where she spent her early years. Jane had worked as a cashier for Big Lots in Trexlertown for 20 years. She loved George Clooney, was an avid reader of romance novels, especially Danielle Steel, and even wrote some of her own romance books. She was creative and outgoing, loved doing crafts, and had a unique sense of humor that made those around her smile. Sometimes innocently charming, Jane had an incredibly big heart and brought warmth, kindness, and joy to everyone who knew her. She loved animals and shared an EXTRA-special bond with all her nieces and nephews, who meant the world to her.

Survivors include her mother, Beatrice Pantano; brothers Joseph Pantano and wife Paula, and Antonio Pantano and wife Lori; and nieces and nephews Anthony Jr., Jenifer, Ashlee, Shanon, Brandyn, Kyle, Rebecca, and Leonardo.
