We want to let her know she did an amazing job here and wish her a safe journey filled with love, laughter and many dance partners.

We will remember her beautiful smile, her warmth, her endless energy, her love for family and friends.

Her last job was working for Bob Fox Children’s Wear at Fashion Square Mall.

When Jane retired, her real work started. She was president for 4 years with her dance group. Jane had volunteered with the Sodality of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church for over 12 years. She volunteered at the Scottsdale Community Center, Sage Brush Theatre, and Bingo Center. Jane performed as a Eucharistic Minister for OLPH.
