Jane Hampton Obituary
Born in East Syracuse, N.Y., on July 22, 1943, she was the daughter of the late Raymond and Nellie (Webb) Cavanaugh.
She worked as a college professor until a couple of weeks ago, most recently at Manchester Community College. Her love of history and teaching led her and her husband on many adventures, often to Gettysburg. She belonged to the Daughters of the American Revolution and participated in reenactments with her husband.
Jane was an avid crafter and seamstress. She was known for her doll clothes --sewn and knitted - and her Christmas stockings, but her talents were many.
Family members include her husband, Benjamin H. Hampton Jr., of Goffstown; her two children, Danielle Bender Amero and her husband Michael, of Somersworth, and John Bender Jr. and his wife Laura of Middleborough, Mass.; her husband's children, who she loved as her own, Benjamin H. Hampton III and his wife Debbie of Easton, Mass., Elizabeth Shapiro and her husband Michael, of Dracut, Mass., and James J. Hampton; and her eight grandchildren, whom she loved more than words can express, Joshua, Jacob, and Rhiannon Amero, Abigail, Madelyn Kate, and Justin Bender, Katie and Andrew Shapiro.
The family would like to thank the staff of both Elliot Hospital and Hillsborough County Nursing Home for their care over the last two weeks.

Ben and family, Just found out about Jane's passing. As cousins we spent many wonderful times together at Grandma Webb's and at her home in East Syracuse. Although as we grew older and out of touch, I will cherish those times we all had. Her sister Bunny, cousin Janet, my sister Mary, cousins Linda and Jane.
We had a wonderful childhood together that I will never forget. God Bless you all and my your memories bring you comfort.

My deepest condolences to Ben and the entire family. I first met Jane when I worked at the college where she worked. We quickly became friends, and remained friends over the years even after I moved away. I looked forward to Ben and Jane's visit when they came to Gettysburg. She was such a wonderful, giving, fun,and talented woman and I will miss her. She was a light to so many, and that light will continue to shine on. I hold the entire family in prayer during this difficult time.
