April 24, 1954 – March 17, 2021
Jane grew up in Noblesville and graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Arts in Forensic Studies. She was a beloved daughter of Willie and Sarah Collins and middle sister to Susan White and Kitrice Robinson.
Jane and Patrick O’Boyle were married on May 2, 1987 when she lovingly accepted the role of mother to four children, David, Jennie, Katie, and Ryan (eventually mother-in-law to Aubrey, Darrell, and Jenae). Along with their colorful mix of teddy bears and friends, the family never missed a vacation to the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Her most memorable road trips were the individual annual adventures to Yellowstone National Park with grandkids. Jane was Grandma to 13 grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and one on the way.
After 35 years in the electronics industry, Jane and Pat retired to the mountains of Flagstaff, Ariz. Retirement didn’t suit Jane well, so she found a job at Walmart to keep busy. Much to her surprise, she was progressively promoted to store management thanks to her strong work ethic, inspiring leadership, and organizational skills.
Jane developed many friends who became family through sharing her passion for crafting, interior design, and holiday décor. Her generous spirit warmed the hearts of her extended family.
She will be missed deeply, but Rejoice! She will surely be blessed in heaven as she rejoins our Heavenly Father and all she has loved who have gone before her.
