Jane’s journey through life was marked by love and loss. Her first marriage to Ted brought them 13 children, a testament to their shared dreams and dedication.

In total, Jane was the proud mother of 25 children, each a unique chapter in her life’s story.​

As the preacher stood before her coffin, he spoke of Jane’s enduring love and the reunion she now embraced. He concluded with the words, “They’re finally together.”​

Among the mourners were Jane’s closest friends, Ethel and Margaret, who had shared countless moments with her over the years. Ethel leaned over to Margaret and whispered, “Do you think he means her first, second, or third husband?” Margaret, with a twinkle in her eye, replied, “I think he means her legs, Ethel… her legs.”​

The room, heavy with emotion, erupted into laughter. In that moment, the spirit of Jane’s humor and the deep bonds she shared with her friends shone through. It was a reminder that even in farewell, joy and laughter could prevail.​

Jane’s legacy is one of love, resilience, and the ability to find light in the darkest of times. Her story continues to inspire those who knew her and serves as a testament to the enduring power of friendship and humor.
