Jane Colleen (Northcutt) Tyler, 84, died February 28, 2026 at Manor of the Plains in Dodge City. She was born on April 27, 1942 in Syracuse, the daughter of Loren and Rosalie (Perry) Northcutt. 

Jane was a lifetime resident of Copeland, graduating from Copeland High School in 1959. She attended one year of college at Emporia State College with a focus on business classes. Jane was united in marriage to Dale Tyler on July 23, 1961. They farmed together north of Copeland. She enjoyed being with family, especially with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
