Born June 1, 1938 to Martha Bird & Jim Wiley, Jane was born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts. She attended Middlebury College in Vermont with a degree in education.
Jane was the mother to three children, Scot Vermillion (Peggy), Drew Vermillion (Margaret), and Wendy Vermillion Midkiff (Eric), doting Mimi to 7 grandchildren, and devoted wife of 27 years to Richard Whiteside.
Jane was never one to miss a social event. She had a love of cooking, organizing, decorating, and entertaining. She never met a stranger. Jane was known for her positive nature, relentless encouragement, and her genuine love for her friends and family. She was a wonderful Mother who showered her kids with love, hope and perseverance. As she loved to say to her kids, "I'm sending up the good waves". Jane was a unique and beautiful person who made the world a better place, and all those who surrounded her, more caring, optimistic, and grateful. Her positive attitude and constant smile will be missed but never forgotten.
