Jane married the love of her life, Earl E. Stoey, Sr., on July 29, 1951. They had 45 years together on earth before he passed away on March 27, 1997. Jane was a homemaker. She never passed up an opportunity to snuggle a baby, work in her flower beds or fix you a meal. She was known for her Christmas pies, fried chicken, and hand crocheted blankets for each grandchild until her hands became too weak. Her strength and perseverance were admirable.
