Jane was a member of the Neath Welsh Congregational Church where she assisted the Neath Ladies Aid and Vacation Bible School. A strong believer in education, Jane served for over forty years on Northeast Bradford Student Loan Board. As Jane’s health declined, she was assisted at home by her dear friends Arlyn and Arlene Wilbur and later moved to Brookdale Vestal West. There she made friends with the staff and residents. We would like to thank Arlyn and Arlene and the caregivers at Brookdale for the love and care they gave to our mom.
