If Jane was asked to describe herself in one word it would be “feisty.” Her grandfather, Louis Specht, owned the first meat market in the village of Webster, NY. An open heart surgery survivor and 2 time breast cancer survivor, Jane was a volunteer at the Fairport public library for over 40 years. Jane believed in family, friends, and faith. She loved traveling extensively and playing bridge with wonderful women.
