Jane Patterson Obituary
October 15, 1948 - October 31, 2024
Jane Ellen Patterson passed away on October 31, 2024.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Robert M. Patterson III, her beloved children: Robert Patterson IV, Craig (Jennifer) Patterson, Nicholas (Laura) Patterson, and Shelley Patterson.
She will be greatly missed by her grandsons Luke and Sam Patterson, step-grandchildren Alex, Nate, Noah, and Abby Hall, as well as her brother James (Sharon) Pause, nephews James, Christopher, and Brian Pause, and niece Hope Patterson-Rodriguez.
A long-time resident of Crown Point, Indiana, Jane spent the last decade enjoying retirement in Fort Myers, Florida. She was a dedicated businesswoman, owning Kid Stuff Clothing in Crown Point and Mom's General Store in Waveland, Indiana. Over the years, she also worked for NIPSCO, Lipays, Crown Point Community Schools, RGT Trucking and Ely Graham Financial Services. Jane was a proud member of the Delta Chi Sigma Sorority, Beta Iota Chapter, and a 1968 graduate of Crown Point High School.
Jane's life revolved around her family. She raised her children with love and was actively involved in their lives and endeavors. Creative and resourceful, she had a talent for crafting everything from clothing and jewelry to purses, and she took special joy in organizing weddings and events. Her home was always beautifully decorated for each season and holiday. Known for her selflessness, Jane was the person everyone could rely on for help. She found happiness in bringing joy to others.
In her retirement, Jane relished the peaceful life in Fort Myers. While during this past year she faced numerous medical challenges, she did so with great strength and determination. Now, she is at rest. Her family loves her deeply and will miss her profoundly.
Cremation will be handled by Baldwin Brothers in Fort Myers, Florida. A celebration of life has been scheduled for December 1, 2024 in the Maki Ballroom located inside the Historic Lake County Court House, center square in Crown Point, Indiana from 1 p.m. 4 p.m. Friends and family are invited to please come to share memories, enjoy refreshments and honor her remarkable life.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations in her honor be made to the American Diabetes Association or to a local charity of your choice.
