Jane began her working career at Owens-Illinois and was also employed as a waitress at Pere Marquette Lodge in Grafton, prior to accepting a position with Jersey Community Unit School District #100 where she worked as a cook at both Illini Middle School and Grafton Elementary School.

Above all else, Jane was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who was always willing and ready for a game of cards.

In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by a sister, Ruth Waters, and two brothers, Forrest Leon and George Finch.

Visitation will be held from 4-7 pm on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at Crawford Funeral Home in Jerseyville where funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m., Wednesday.

Burial will follow at Scenic Hill Cemetery in Grafton.
