She was a graduate of Waterville High School, where she was All-New England Clarinet, and the University of Maine (1957), with a B.S. degree in Elementary Education.

Les and Jane moved from Maine to El Paso, Texas in 1957 as Les started on his career in the Army.

Upon Les’s retirement from the Army in 1976 in El Paso, Jane started as a long-term substitute teacher at Eastwood High School. She made many friends with the staff and student population. Les and Jane also enjoyed their frequent trips to Las Vegas and attending various sporting events.
