June 30, 1962 - January 26, 2026

Jane Marie Zeleski, 63, of Lexington, NE, passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, January 26, 2026, in Lexington, after a long battle with cancer.

Jane was born in Loup City, NE, on June 30, 1962, and was immediately adopted by Henry and Emily Janulewicz. She grew up on a farm and enjoyed every aspect of helping her parents with the farming life. Growing up, Jane had opportunities of being involved in 4H, school activities, and church. She graduated from Loup City High School with the class of 1980.

On March 21, 1981, Jane married Randy Zeleski at St. Josephat's Catholic Church in Loup City. The couple made their home in Arcadia, NE, before moving to Lexington in 1986. To this marriage, two children were born, Heather and Megan. The marriage later ended in divorce. Jane worked several jobs over the years, including at the care homes, community paging, working for Palmer Monument, and the child support offices. Her last job was at Worley Monument in Kearney as the office manager; a job she enjoyed to the fullest until her health no longer let her work.

Jane is survived by her daughters, Heather and Megan; her granddaughters; her brother, Gary; sisters, Alice, Janette, and Karen; special friends and caregivers, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, and special friends, Barry, Sara, and Cheryl.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Emily Janulewicz, stepmother, Jean, and her grandson.

Special thank you to all of Jane's friends, as well as to Cozad Home Health for all of their support.
