Jane Schiff Obituary
Born in 1951 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Jane was the beloved daughter of Harry and Lillian Zigun. She devoted her life to helping others, both personally and professionally. Jane worked as a special education and Spanish teacher, where she touched the lives of many students with her compassion, patience, and dedication.
Jane was known for her unique spirit-eccentric, independent, and unapologetically herself. She never worried about what others might think, choosing instead to live authentically and wholeheartedly. Her kindness and willingness to help anyone in need left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
She is survived by her sons, Aaron Schiff and Yosef Schiff. She was preceded in death by her husband, Jonathan Schiff.
Jane will be remembered for her generous heart, her individuality, and the many lives she uplifted throughout her years.
Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 at 1:00PM at Kneseth Israel Cemetery, 5350 Sidney Road Green Township, Ohio 45238.
Shiva week will be observed at 3648 Besuden Court Cincinnati, Ohio 45208.
