Some of Jane's fondest memories are of the many weekends spent with her young sons and friends camping at Rand's Pond in Goshen, NH. In 1987, a blind date led her to meet Norman Gassett of Springfield, VT. They enjoyed 24 years of close friendship, church suppers, turkey raffles, and travel to many different 'ports of call' through Norm's service in the US Navy. Jane had a passion for knitting beautiful Afghans for family and friends. She was famous for her delicious baked beans, quick wit, and always drew a smile when she drove away saying 'I'll keep it under 100!"
