Jane enjoyed reading, jigsaw puzzles, quilting, knitting and needlepoint, but was passionate about Bible study. She taught many adult Bible study classes at Bethlehem Church, Randolph, New Jersey, and at both Jekyll Baptist Chapel, Jekyll Island, and First Baptist Church, Brunswick. She was a faithful volunteer, working in several capacities, at MAP International, Brunswick, as well as at Manna House also in Brunswick. She loved adventures and traveled across the United States as well as to Germany, the Netherlands, Alaska, the Caribbean, Greece, Thailand, Peru, Mexico, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

A memorial gathering will be planned for a later date.
