Jane loved dogs, a hot cup of coffee, a good white wine, visiting with family, line dancing, genealogy, going to breakfast with friends, supporting her great-grandchildren in their education and athletics and just generally remaining active and busy. She was a member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) and the Colonial Dames. She enjoyed volunteering and was active in many organizations; she remained active and supportive of the University of Dubuque, a place that remained near to her heart ever since she met her husband Keith while they were in college. 

Jane was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother and great grandmother. She was a gem – classy and kind. She will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her first husband Keith; her second husband James George; her parents and a brother John (Shukuko) Sumpter.

The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses at Finley Hospital for all their care and kindness.
