in 1958. 

Jane pursued a career in cosmetology and worked as a talented beautician for
many years. She had a deep appreciation for fashion and always dressed with
style. She carefully curated her outfits and accented them with thoughtfully
chosen accessories and her signature Pompeii Purple manicured nails.

Jane also had a passion for making her home beautiful inside and out
and was a skilled homemaker. She loved to make candles, create vibrant flower
arrangements, and took great pride in maintaining a flourishing garden.

Jane and her husband, David, shared a love of travel and new experiences, particularly
appreciating trips to the Outer Banks, and cruises to the islands. 

Receiving two kidney transplants over 37 years, Jane faced life’s challenges with
remarkable strength and faith. She was a fierce advocate for her health, meeting
every obstacle with resilience. 

Jane is survived by her beloved husband of 57 years, David; her children,
Michael Rinderknecht and his wife, Michelle, of Wyckoff, New Jersey, and
Kimberly Miklandric and her husband, Stephen, of Asheboro, North Carolina.
