Jane LaLonde Obituary

Jane Ellen LaLonde, age 77, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2025. Jane worked at Montcalm Community College for more than 30 years. She married the love of her life, Ric Davenport, on October 18, 2002. She enjoyed sailing, camping and the theatre with Ric. After his devastating passing, she settled into less adventurous activities: reading, jigsaw puzzles, watching Detroit Tigers baseball, and spending time with her family.

Jane was born in Lansing, Michigan to Robert and Maxine (Kribbs) Sleight. She is survived by her daughter, Michele Steed of Vestaburg and son, Michael LaLonde of Elwell. She enjoyed the company of her 3 grandsons and 6 great-grandchildren. Jane is also survived by her sister Debbie Snacker and her brother Terry Tate, along with her nieces and nephews. Jane was preceded in death by her husband Ric, her daughter Melissa, her parents and her siblings Steve and Susie.

In honor of Jane's request there will be no funeral services.
