Jane is survived by her five children; Randy Finley, Cindy (Cees) Kattenberg, Brenda (Jerry) Hoffman, Lisa (Kevin) Trom and Kim Finley; 11 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.
Jane is also survived by her sister Carol (William) Henshaw; sisters-in-law; Dorothy (Finley) Hall, Judy (Finley) Martin, Sharon (Ramsey) Finley; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

The family would like to express deep appreciation to Season’s Hospice for their respectful, compassionate care and pastoral services during our mother’s end of life journey.

Condolences
The family of Jane Elizabeth Finley has received the following condolences.
My sincere sympathy on the loss of Jane. What a long and full life she lived. I, too, worked with Jane at Methodist Hospital. She was the Lead Evening Supervisor and reported to me for a period of time. She was excellent at her job and very devoted. I always marveled at all she accomplished at home each day before she came to work the evening shift at the hospital. Once or twice a year, she made me one of her wonderful pies---best pie crust ever! A very good woman.
Sincerely,
Sharon Tennis
