Jane met the love of her life, Roger Horton, as a teenager and they were soon married and started a family.  She was a loving wife and her and Roger were the yin to each other’s yang.  She was a terrific mother, not only to her own children, but as a surrogate mother to many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and neighbors throughout her life.  She was an avid reader, trivia buff, crossword puzzle master and badminton court ninja.  Jane dedicated her professional career to taking care of others as a home health aide in southeastern PA.  She loved all, was loved by all who met her and will be sorely missed.
