Jane loved to read, play games, work crossword puzzles, cook, fish, vacationing at the beach and most importantly, spending time with her family. She enjoyed putting puzzles together, was a bowling “champion” in younger years and was known to sew outfits for her children!

The family wishes to thank Dr. Jamal Mohyuddin, staff, nurses, and CNAs at Spring Harbor for all their support and services for our mother during the last 16 years as well as the private caregivers that have been there for our mother.
