Jane was a kind and gentle soul, who loved her family, her faith, and working with her hands.
She had many hobbies that brought her joy. She loved to paint, explore family history through
genealogy, tend to her garden, and work on woodworking projects in her spare time. Whether
she was building something or planting flowers in the yard, she always found peace in creating
and growing.
Her greatest passion was sharing the love of Jesus with others. She enjoyed teaching children in
AWANAs, guiding teens, and leading Sunday School for senior ladies at church. No matter their
age, she made people feel welcomed and loved.
