Jane was born in Providence, RI and was a descendant of Irish immigrants from Counties Longford and Clare. She graduated from St. Joseph's School of Nursing in 1958 and was the Vice President of her class. Jane went on to get her bachelor of science degree from St. Joseph's College in Maine, Class of 1993. She was the Infection Control Nurse at Day Kimball Hospital in Connecticut for 25
years. After her retirement, she worked in the same specialty at South County Hospital in RI.
Jane was a lover of books, both reading and writing and even authored 3 books, the last of which she completed the week she died. She was passionate about travelling all over the world with Gerry. She also loved the beach and was an avid swimmer her entire life.
Many thanks to all who sent prayers and thoughts during her final days. And a special thanks to HopeHealth Hospice.
