Sarah Blocker Obituary
Jane loved Christmas and took great joy in shopping for Christmas decorations. Anyone who visited her home during the holidays can attest to the care and enthusiasm she put into decorating and celebrating the season. She also loved working outdoors in her flowerbeds, and her yard was always beautifully kept.
