A cherished resident of Aurora, she was predeceased by her beloved husband, James Douglas Wharry, with whom she shared 53 years of enduring love, companionship, and devotion until his passing on September 8, 2020.

Jane found her greatest happiness in the company of family and lifelong friends, especially during treasured summers at the family cottage on Lake Catchacoma, where laughter, conversation, and tradition created memories to last generations.

Whether around her table, at the cottage, or among dear friends at bridge, Jane possessed a rare gift for making others feel genuinely welcomed, valued, and at ease.
