Jane emigrated to the United States from Poland at 18 years old. She put herself through nursing school in Chicago while teaching herself English, met her husband, Barry, built an incredible loving family, and raised four children. She was constantly full of energy, an enthusiastic fan at every single high school tennis match, basketball game, and swimming meet.

She used to wake up at 4:30 AM every day to work out before preparing meals for all the children and managing Barry's office. In 2018, She was diagnosed with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. This came as a surprise diagnosis after presenting with headaches until we found out it had metastasized to her brain. Jane required brain surgery in order to remove the tumor however suffered from a stroke due to surgery complications.

For the past 2 years, she fiercely battled this disease and worked very hard for stroke recovery. We found out in early September of 2020 that her tumor had transformed to small-cell lung cancer. On December 2nd 2020 she passed away peacefully surrounded by family.
