Jane studied piano through high school, and was pianist for Sunday School for many years at Bethany, and served as a pianist for worship as well. In 2002, she started learning to play the organ, and has been taking lessons since. She currently is one of 3 organists at Bethany.
Jane has been a member of Bethany since 1980, is a member of choir and Women of the ELCA.
Besides studying and practicing organ, she enjoys knitting, sewing, bike riding, golf, pickleball, travel, camping, and spending time with family.
