As I heard about Jane, the first thing that came to my mind was how much of a caring person she was. When I started working at the Warner Theatre Jane was my boss but Jane wasnt like most bosses. I started working at the Theatre as a young newlywed and after only 2 months of marriage, my husband was sent to Iraq for the first time. Jane comforted me during this hard time and constantly checked in on me during those hard 3 months. When I became pregnant, Jane was genuinely happy for me. I remember being told by someone in the entertainment business that I would never be able to have a career in ticketing and entertainment and be a Mom, but Jane told me she believed in me and to brush it off. I did just what she said and continued my career all the way to Vegas and continued to blossom. I will never forget Jane, she wasnt only a sweet and caring person by a role model to me and she will be dearly missed. Heres to you Jane..Cheers! Cortney Huffman
I had the pleasure of working for Jane way back in the early 80s at the Omni Auditorium and in the 90s my wife worked with her at the BCPA. I only have one picture of her and it's kind of poor quality as it's a scan from a slide developed in 1983, but she would have been about 29 years old and the Assistant General Manager at this time, if my memory is correct.
Jane was our neighbor during the time she lived in Edgewater, MD. We quickly became so much more than mere neighbors...she rapidly became a part of our family and celebrated birthdays, Thanksgivings and Christmas's with us, as well as just ordinary meals most evenings. Her smile brightened our days and she was greatly missed when she moved to Boston where eventually we lost touch with one another.
Just last evening we were talking about her as friends of ours were here from out of town and they had met her during one of their past visits. And so it was that this morning I learned that she had passed away and I truly cannot stop crying...not only because she is gone, but that I failed to stay in touch with her once she moved away. She will always live on in my heart as the remarkable person she was and we were indeed so privileged to have her in our lives during the time she lived next door.

I've always meant to get back in touch, I sure wish I had followed through.
