Jane was born Oct. 13, 1923, in Chicago, Ill. She married Norman D. Heilbuth on July 10, 1943. They were married for 64 years. They have lived in Leeds for 40 plus years.

She was a homemaker for most of her adult life and truly dedicated herself to her family. She was a great wife and the best mother and grandmother anyone could hope for. She had a sweet soul with never an unkind word for anyone. She had a positive approach to life even though she suffered with both heart and lung problems for the last 15 years of her life. She enjoyed most being with her husband, her children and her grandchildren. She was a second mother to many of her neighbors' children and her children's friends. She was much loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed.

Survivors include her husband, Norman; a daughter, Lynne of Santa Fe, N.M.; a son and his wife, Don and Kelli Heilbuth of Sioux City; and three grandchildren, Steve Heilbuth of Chicago, Ill., and Christian and Alex of Sioux City.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Helen Johnson; a brother, William Johnson; and a sister, Helen White.
