Jane was such a wonderful lady, I can remember when she worked for International in Pence Grandpa Art and I were in the store and she tried to get to to say grandpa's name and I wouldn't call him by his name all I would call him was grandpa. She thought it was funny. Jane will be missed by many family and friends.

Sorry about Jane Ellen's passing. I have a lot of good memories of her and her parents. Mabel was my Sunday school teacher at the Pence Methodist Church. My dad J C Chambers used a lot of parts from the IH Store in Pence and Jane Ellen always found the correct part.
My first bicycle was Jane Ellen's ,Dad told me he was fixing it so she could ride it to work and lo and behold, it was my birthday present.
I won't be able to attend the service,but I did visit her several times at the Williamsport Nursing Home. She is in a much better place now.

Jane Ellen was loved by many, she was so good to the Ingram children when Dad would go to Pence for parts. Have many fond memories of her getting us settled in those wooden chairs and making sure we had a coke to go along with the penny candy we would get from the store down the street.
