She was raised and educated in Utica and was a graduate of Utica Free Academy and Utica Business School. Jane met and later married Jack Linder, on August 25, 1945 at St. Joseph’s Church, a blessed union of 70 years, until Jack’s death on September 27, 2014. Jane was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who cherished all time spent with family and friends and especially loved babysitting her precious grandchildren. She was a very devout Catholic, who was a member of the Perpetual Adoration Society and the Alter Rosary Society of St. Joseph and St. Patrick Church in Utica.

She was an avid shopper who taught her daughters well. She also loved to bake and make mayonnaise cakes, and especially her famous applesauce cakes at Christmas. When her beloved Jack was alive, they traveled to Florida yearly to visit family and friends. In her younger years, she showed her beauty and elegance when she modeled in many fashion shows.
