Jane Reusche passed peacefully on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at the age of 90.
Jane spent much of her life living in New Jersey, but she later moved to Massachusetts to be near her children and grandchildren. She earned her Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University and enjoyed a long career as a Social Worker, working in both New Jersey and Massachusetts. She loved being a therapist as it was her life calling.
Jane, above all, was devoted to her family and friends. She took great delight in the accomplishments of her four children and nine grandchildren. She was an avid reader, movie goer, bridge player, and advocate for women. She loved and valued conversation, whether in person or on the phone, and kept in touch with friends and her extended family. She loved nothing more than to sit at her kitchen table with a cup of tea and catch up with whoever was in front of her.
Over her long life she lived in Jersey City, West Orange, Livingston, and Summit, New Jersey. She also lived in Pittsfield and South Hadley, Massachusetts. She was married to Alick E Verney III and later to Frank L Reusche. Both husbands are deceased as well as is Gail Spooner, Jane's sister. She also enjoyed the companionship of Daniel Sullivan in her later years.
Jane is survived by her son, Steven Verney and his wife Kay, and her daughters, Kim Barry and her husband Jim, Kerry Stone and her husband Gregg, and Alison Wight, as well as her grandchildren, Jamie, Michael, Jonathan, Ryan, Forrest, Heather, Sophie, Dylan, and Sam. She also had four great grandchildren, Caroline, Asa, Daniel, and Layne, all of whom gave her much happiness.
There will be a private family burial at the North New Salem Cemetery.
A Celebration of Life will be held in Amherst, date and time to be announced.
Witty's Funeral Home in Orange, Massachusetts is making the funeral arrangements.
