Jane was employed for thirty years at Kmart. She finished her career as an entrepreneur of Wayne and Jane’s Place in Granite City. When she retired, she enjoyed scrapbooking, was a member of the South Roxana American Legion Women's Auxiliary but the absolute real pride and joy of her life was her grandkids who regularly stayed the night. She had a way of turning their boredom into fun with crafts, activities and even front yard carnivals. Jane's legacy is the dedication to her grandchildren and her love of family ancestry, which inspired her stories and many family traditions that her family and friends will be privileged to pass to the next generations. She grew up in Granite City and enjoyed Elvis Presley and country music.
