We were Jane's next door neighbors for 11 years and shared our lives with her like she was family. We became close friends. We are saddened to hear of her passing. We moved back to Canada in 2013 and we kept in touch from time to time. We always missed her since moving from Butler and we send our love via the angels. RIP Jane.

Jane and I taught together at Seneca Valley for several years before she got sick and retired. She was a very funny person when you got to know her. She was well respected and will be missed.

Jane was my Sigma Kappa sorority sister. She had such an infectious laugh, a dry wit and a twinkle in her eye. She will be missed by many. May perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace.
