She was born on September 30, 1949 in Peoria, a daughter of Herman John Roloff, Jr. and Hazel Eileen (Davison) Roloff. Jane married Garry D. Catton on December 26, 1969 in Bartonville. Garry preceded her in death on June 21, 1999 in Peoria.

Catton of Pekin; four grandchildren, Mollie (Meranda Reed) Scarcliff, Alec J.

Jane owned and operated a daycare for many years, caring for a total of 45 children over the years including her grandchildren. Jane was also a nanny for the Ramani family for 10 years and later took care of her great granddaughter, Vesta Gayle, who called her Yaya.
Jane was a dedicated member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Pekin, where her calling was being a primary teacher. She was involved with the Boy Scouts of America for many years, achieving the Silver Beaver Award and serving as a past Pack Committee Chairman, Round Table Staff member, and Den Leader.
She was talented in so many ways; She could always sing a song about anything and was a very talented artist who was always crafting up something!
Ms. Jane was loved by many, she lit up a room wherever she went. She had a huge impact on a lot of people’s lives and was a friend who knew no stranger. She always had a joke to tell, making people laugh wherever she went. Her favorite color was green and her favorite word was PEACE. Her little darlings who knew her as Grammie will miss her very much.
Jane's funeral service will be at 11:00 am on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Pekin. Bishop Troy Matthews will officiate. Her visitation will be from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Friday, April 26, 2024 at the Davison-Fulton Bartonville Chapel. An additional visitation will be from 10:00 am to 11:00 am on Saturday at her church. Entombment will be in the Chapel of Peace Mausoleum in Parkview Cemetery in Peoria.
In lieu of flowers, carry on Jane’s laughter and tell a joke every day; Memorials may be made to the family or the American Cancer Society.
