Jane worked for St. Anne’s School, the Wabasso Nursing Home, Salfer’s Clover Farm (Grocery Store), was a Bar Tender at Dicks Bar, was a Home Health Aid and later retired from SEI in Redwood Falls.

Family was the most important to Jane. She was an excellent host and enjoyed family gatherings. She had a big heart and her door was always open to all friends and family. She was a humble person and always willing to help others without looking for recognition. She was a good listener and was someone that people could turn to during difficult times. She also enjoyed traveling. In 2022, she was fortunate to visit all seven of her living siblings. In her later years, Jane enjoyed playing Bingo and many other social activities.
