Jane was an integral part of our Weed & Seed Garden Club as a most welcoming hostess and later attending meetings with Henry, our Secretary. It was always a pleasure to be in her company. Her family has my deepest sympathy.

As a member of the Weed and Seed Garden Club in Newark, I met Jane at the annual holiday party, and at the fall plant exchanges that Henry and Jane hosted. I was new to the club so knew nothing about Jane and Henry’s background but had noticed that their home was filled with interesting books, plants and art. I always enjoyed Henry’s witty comments in the minutes when he was secretary, and appreciated that Jane escorted him to our meetings those last few years that he was able to attend.
