Funeral services were held Monday, July 23, at The Louis Memorial Chapel, with burial at Mount Carmel Cemetery. The family suggests contributions to Congregation Beth Shalom or the Kansas Lung Association.

Jane, the daughter of Robert and Alice Klaiber, was born in Buffalo, N.Y., where she received her post high school training as an RN at Meyer Memorial Hospital. She attended the Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, where she earned her BSN and MSN. Jane held certificates as a clinical nurse specialist, diabetes educator and a nurse practitioner.
