She had a particularly soft heart for little children and worked for over 10 years at St. Joseph Hospital Children’s Center, in Lexington, Kentucky. But the true apple of her eye were her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who she enjoyed taking to the park and playing games with, especially Phase 10. Jane enjoyed long walks and she and Zoey were well known and loved by friends and neighbors. Jane was passionate about her Catholic faith and she had a deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She found much consolation and joy in praying the rosary. Jane passed away Thursday, November 30, 2023, at age 80.
