Over the years, she designed and made wedding dresses, costumes, and dance dresses. JaneRae had a passion for quilting. She was always working on multiple projects. She had a desire to learn new methods and perfect her craft. Her second love was painting nature in oil paints, from flowers to animals, seascapes to majestic mountains. She loved to capture the beauty she saw everywhere. She loved the outdoors and all of God's creations. She always found time to stop to take pictures of flowers, wildlife, or the mountains so she could paint them.

She had a fierce entrepreneurial spirit. She opened two dress shops, Mode'o Day, one in Bountiful and the other in Valley Fair Mall. After that she opened a beauty shop called JaneRae's Hair Design. Throughout the years she was always on the lookout for new opportunities.

 JaneRae faced a lot of physical pain in her lifetime, but she always had a positive attitude, a smile, and the ability to find humor in all situations. She had a great sense of humor. Her best jokes were usually on accident. We are grateful to know that she is out of physical pain.
