In 1983 she married a local farmer, Don Syme. With no delay son Paul was born in 1984 and daughter Hedi in 1986.
Jane loved to be involved in the kids’ activities in school and sports, coaching, cheering and traveling to games.
Jane came to love farming, doing tractor work and working with the animals. She acquired a multitude of pets over the years. Her yard and flowers became a passion, and just sitting with friends looking at them became a great enjoyment.
In 2012, son Paul married Donna and 2015 daughter Hedi married Gemma both beautiful outdoor ceremonies that Jane was so proud of.
