Jane became a happy accomplished croquet player and teacher to others, and won sponsored events in multiple locations in the United States. She was asked by her children how she wanted to be remembered and part of her answer was “I hope that I added some sunshine to the life of loved ones, friends and everyone that took the time to get to know me”. From her new home above, it should be satisfying for her to see how well she fulfilled that wish. Her passing has left a hole in the lives of so many people because of her life of love and caring about others.
