Jane was born March 29, 1950, in Pocatello to Kenton R and Shirley Almira Pincock. She graduated from Pocatello High School and 4-year Seminary in 1968, and was a member of Lambda Delta Sigma at the Idaho State University LDS Institute. She married Ron L.

She served faithfully throughout her life in various auxiliaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Some of her favorite callings were Ward Activity Committee Leader, YW President, Primary Nursery Leader, and Cub Scouts. Jane loved being a homemaker and spending time with her family. She enjoyed gardening and canning with her husband, and they willingly shared their bounteous harvest with others. Her children and grandchildren were the delights of her life. Each one felt special. Jane loved attending their activities and taking them on many adventures. Janes testimony of the Savior was evident as she lived a Christ-like life, and her service to others impacted many lives. She had great compassion and love for all, and she always welcomed everyone with a big smile.
