After graduating from Davis High, Jane began working as a pharmacy technician, a job she loved and worked hard at. The love of Jane’s life was her son, Miles.

Jane’s love of nature deepened in recent years as she hiked the mountains of Summit County and began learning to fly-fish along side her best friend Bryan Sharp, and her best girl Maggie, the white lab who never left her side. Jane loved fiercely and lived fully. She will be missed my many.
