Daughter of Gertrude and Mervin Rowley and dear sister of the late Mervin Rowley. Born and raised in Cleveland, Jane was inducted as a member of the National Honor Society of Glenville High School in May of 1944.

An accomplished seamstress, she created everything from draperies and slipcovers to toys for the grandkids. As a vocal musician, Jane was a long-time member of, past president, and costume designer for the Westowne Chapter of the Sweet Adelines. She was named Sweet Adeline of the year in 1981. Jane was active in the Brecksville Little Theater performing in such productions as “The King and I” and “H.M.S. Pinafore”.
