Jane was a faith-filled person and very giving to the communities she was a part of. Jane was active in the United Methodist Church for many years. In 1997, Jane and Bill served as co-chairs for the capital campaign which raised funds to build the new sanctuary at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church where they were members. She was a member of the Forum Club of Southwest Florida, Royal Palm Society of the Naples Botanical Garden, Meridian Hills Country Club, former President of the Junior League of Fort Wayne, IN and volunteered for numerous philanthropic organizations throughout her life.

Jane was an avid sports fan and loved watching IU football & basketball along with Pacers and Colts games. Jane’s special place was with family and friends at Lake Wawasee where she and Bill spent 55 years enjoying water skiing, sailing and boat-in-worship. Some of her favorite memories include attending her grandchildren’s school activities and taking them on a variety of different trips to explore the United States.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that any remembrances be shared with the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation (WACF), Indiana University Foundation, and St. Luke’s United Methodist Church.
