Jane was a 1967 graduate of Delphos St. John High School and a 1970 graduate of St. Rita School of Nursing as a registered nurse. She was employed at St. Rita Medical Center, Lima; Ohio Eye and Revision Advanced Laser Eye Center, Mansfield, and Ohio ENT Surgeons, Columbus, Ohio. Jane truly loved her profession. She was well known for her beautiful gardens and flowers or the handmade cards she sent. A gifted quilter and seamstress, her works will be coveted. Jane was known as “the stocking aunt” by the Neumeier family, crocheting over 80 Christmas Stockings for family members. But most of all, she will also be remembered as a devoted and loving wife, mother, “Grammie” and sister. Her acts of kindness will be treasured by the many people she touched in her life.
