She enlisted her family in canning hundreds of quarts of peaches, pears, applesauce, cherries, pickles and jams.

Jane was energetic, funny, honest and resilient. She always said her best times were spent with family, particularly on Whidbey Island, including Thanksgiving 2015. For nearly 90 summers she enjoyed Whidbey's salmon fishing, crabbing and clamming. She waterskied into her 60s and swam into her 80s. Good neighbors and friends, her flowers and raspberries, bridge and cribbage games and See's chocolates were favorites. She devoted many happy hours to projects with her kids and grandkids. Her constant kindness and generosity of spirit are reasons everyone loved her so dearly. Jane and Earl made their Beacon Hill neighborhood a better place.

A member of Seattle First United Methodist Church for decades, Jane lived at Bayview Retirement Community the past 6 years where she enjoyed friends, activities and the loving care of dedicated staff.
