When her Dad retruned from the service in WWII he married Pauline West and the family made their home in Southard. They later moved into the Canton school district where Jane graduated with the class of 1961. She was involved in many school activities. Jane loved playing basketball as a Canton tiger and bragged about their team going to State. Her parents owned the Sportsman's Cafe where she worked part-time. Later she worked at Long's drug store.
Due to health issues Jane moved into Billings Fairchild Center on Jan. 2, 1971, where she resided until her death. She participated in Special Olympics throughout the years, winning many medals in bocce ball and bowling. She was a mentor to younger residents and helped them with craft projects. She was a "Big Sister" to many as well. At family gatherings she was always ready for a game of cards or playing games on the WII. She loved her O.S.U. Cowboys and was always decked out in orange.
