Loving mother of Janelle Friel, Janine (Mike) Paul, Sarah Jane Friel, and step-mother of David (Lynne) Friel and Jason Friel. The proudest grandma ever of Kayla, Hannah, Ethan, Lucas and Zach. Survived by sisters Helen French, Lisa Ayers and Lori Ayers, Papa Rodger Thibodeau, and step-mothers Nancy Ayers and Marie Andrews. A special thanks to great friends Donna Lindsay and Rita DiMarcantonio. Predeceased by her father Paul Ayers, mother Nora Jean Thibodeau, brother Paul Ayers, nephew Russell and niece Jennifer.
Jane was born in the Niagara Peninsula and after stints in Guelph, Edmonton and Kitchener, moved back to Wainfleet to start a business with her husband Jamie. She was so proud to be a Fleeter and enjoyed every minute of country life. She was known as the “Sandwich Lady” as she and Jamie supplied all of the convenience stores in the area with food products.
A special thanks to Dr. Remington and the team at Niagara Palliative, Dr. Dooler, Dawn Brown and Jocelyn.
Her beauty, wit and humour will be missed forever by all.
