She worked for many years at the cosmetics counter and pharmacy at Gray Drug Store at the College Hills Shopping Center.  She loved to go on long hikes with her best friend Dori Mast and to create using stained glass.  Jane, like her Mother, was the “Queen” of Scrabble.  She never met an opponent she couldn’t beat. Even the workers at Westview couldn’t beat her!
