She was married to George J. Schiller in 1959 and had two children, Catherine Ann and Stephen John. She is predeceased by her husband George in 1977. She married Alan T. Peckel in 1987.
She is also preceded in death by her son Stephen, sister Ann (Dorry) Morris, her husband Alan, and her stepson Eric Peckel.
Jane is survived by her Children: Catherine (Schiller) Culliton (son-in-law Gerald F. Culliton); and two stepdaughters Linda and Nancy Peckel, and her three Grandchildren, Hannah Irene and Abigail Jane Culliton, and step grandchild, Jared De Toro.
Jane grew up and attended school in New York City before moving to Brewster, NY and eventually residing for over 35 years in Croton on Hudson, NY.
She was a longtime parishioner of Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church in Croton on Hudson.
Her greatest joy was spending time with family and friends. She especially cherished her time with her beloved grandchildren. She had a gift for bringing people together and keeping loved ones connected over the years. She enjoyed hosting parties at her home and attending gatherings with family and friends. She had an infectious sense of humor, always knew how to get people talking, laughing, and singing. She touched the hearts of all who knew her.
In addition to being an incredible hostess and friend, she enjoyed cooking, gardening, playing cards, and getting together with her “cousins” for reunions filled with fun, memories, and love. Jane was extraordinarily generous and kind and had an impact on many lives.
Jane loved God and Jesus her savior and no doubt she is organizing a party in Heaven right now – with loved ones and new friends.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 am on Tuesday, May 16 at Holy Name of Mary Church, 110 Grand St., Croton on Hudson, NY, 10520. Interment will follow at St. Lawrence O’Toole Cemetery, 780 NY-22, Brewster, NY, 10509.
