Jane L. Schwerson

Jane Sherwin (Schwerson) passed away peacefully on November 1, 2026.

Born in Chicago to Sidney and Ethel Schwerson (deceased), Jane graduated from Von Steuben High School and the University of Wisconsin. She began her career as an elementary school teacher in Chicago, then moved to Cleveland, where she built a remarkable career in advertising. Initially she worked at Wyse Advertising followed by WEWS-TV, where she spent 25 years as General Sales Manager. Due to Jane’s talents and sensibility, she shattered the glass ceiling in a male-dominated industry. Jane was admired for her skill and integrity, and she built lasting relationships with leaders in every industry across the community.

Outside of work, Jane treasured her friends and enjoyed shopping and staying active at the JCC and Lifetime Fitness. She was a devoted sister, aunt and friend as well as an avid sports fan and a dedicated volunteer at the Gathering Place.

Jane is survived by her sister, Joy (Alan) Sandler; her niece, Jodi (Allen) Kirsh; and her nephew, Scott (Lina) Sandler. She will be deeply missed by them and by the many friends and colleagues whose lives she touched.
