Jane was born in Indianapolis to Orville and Geneva Herrin on June 17, 1932. In 1956, we moved to Grand Rapids, Mich. She had several jobs during her life. Two of her favorites were being a babysitter and many years at AT&T as an information operator. She was so proud to have reached her 90th birthday. If you asked her how she was, it was always, “Peachy.”
