She is also survived by her sister in law, Barbara Rohr, and brother in law, Ronald Greeby, along with many nieces and nephews. Jane was born in Germantown, PA into a large family of 8 brothers and sisters. Her childhood memories are filled with laughter and happiness. Jane graduated from Philadelphia High School for Girls in 1948. Her girlfriends formed a sorority of friendship that lasted a lifetime. She met the love of her life, Bud, on a blind date. They were married on September 19, 1953, which she considered "the happiest day of my life". Jane enjoyed working for Bell Telephone Company as a Customer Service Representative. After her daughters were born, Jane became a homemaker and created a wonderful childhood for her children. After the girls were grown, Jane taught preschool at Twin Spring Farm School located in Ambler, PA. Jane loved her students and made a difference in the lives of so many children. After teaching, Jane worked in the office for many years and formed wonderful friendships with the staff. Jane was known for being a gracious hostess. She hosted all the family holiday parties providing a festive atmosphere and delicious food. Her family was her life's focus. Jane had a strong faith and was an active member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Doylestown, PA where she assisted in various church activities including Sunday School and Coffee Hour.
