Jane Mary Hanratty

Born in Atlantic City, NJ, Jane grew up at the beach and spent many days sun tanning and playing in the water with her cousins.

In 1960, she married her husband, Thomas F. Hanratty. Together they had four children and Jane’s days became filled with raising her family. She pushed her children to be their best.

She was funny, sarcastic; she loved the golden oldies and word games such as crossword puzzles. She was extremely involved and dedicated to AA and attended meetings religiously. Jane would often stop on the way home at McDonalds; her favorite was the McDouble.

Jane is survived by her husband of 57 years, Thomas F. Hanratty, her son and daughter-in-law, Thomas F. Hanratty Jr. and Eileen of Bensalem, her daughter, Christine Barr of Holland, her daughter, Jean Hanratty and her companion, Ron Menyweather of Croyden, her son and daughter-in-law, Terence and Nancy Hanratty of Philadelphia, her twelve grandchildren, Thomas F. Hanratty III, Jonathan Hanratty, Timothy Hanratty, Kevin Hanratty, Bryan Hanratty, Christine Barr, Elizabeth Barr-Connor and her husband, Tom, James Barr, Cheryl Hanratty, Lisa Hanratty, Danielle Hanratty and Terence Hanratty, her three great-grandchildren, Jake, Marissa and Lauren. Her brother and sister-in-law, Terence and Jill Sweeney of Philadelphia, also her brother-in-law and sister-in-law Jim and Brenda Hanratty of Chalfont, along with many loving nieces and nephews.
