A graduate of Mount Pleasant High School, Jane went on to achieve a nursing degree however, in 1957 she joined her family in building the WJBR radio station, which became the first in the nation to broadcast in FM Stereo. She loved working at WJBR and would tell stories about the excitement of the radio business, programming music and the many great people she worked with. She had many hobbies including bird watching, knitting and old movies, however the greatest measure of her love was felt in her endless devotion to the raising of her two sons.
