Jane was a well-respected, and inspirational member of AA for 45 years, never failing to influence others, and give them strength. Her gift of storytelling, her sense of humor and quick wit defined her. Jane was affectionately known as ‘Janer the Entertainer’. She maintained these qualities until the end. Her AA friends cherished her, visiting her at home when she could no longer attend meetings.
Jane’s family are especially grateful for the care she received from her aids Lisa and Christine, as well as Mary Jo and the hospice team. Rest in Peace, Jane. We will miss you.
