She loved being social, enjoyed game nights with friends (complete with a few Mike’s or sangrias of course,) and had an innate ability of making those around her feel special. Jane was exceptionally warm and loving toward her friends and family and if there was a baby around, chances are, she was holding it! She was a fun aunt and caring sister.
