She spent many afternoons, nights, and weekends at Youth Hockey games and Cheff Therapeutic riding classes. Jane was a member of the Alwyn Downs Golf Club Women�s Monday League and served as the league secretary. Jane lived a very active and engaged life.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I played softball with Jane back in high school. In fact, I caught for her. Let me tell you boys, your mom could pitch! She was a great softball player and a great person. No words will be able to take your pain away, but just know that she will always be with you in whatever you do. God Bless you all!

Jim, Michael and Robert. I cherish that I was blessed to have been touched by Jane's life. When someone touches your life, even for a moment, they leave behind a memory. Memories are Forever. I will forever remember your wife and mother for being a wonderful, and caring person who spoke of her family with such love and joy. May the memories of her smile, the sound of her laughter, and the warmth of her love fill your hearts.
