LACONIA ---- Jane Alden (Love) Ross, 98, of Ledges Drive, passed away on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, at Ledgeview Taylor Community.
Jane was born on April 25, 1925 in Wilkes Barre, PA, the daughter of the late Robert Gordon Love and Loretta (Oldershaw) Love. Jane graduated from Dallas Township High School in Dallas, PA class of 1943 and received her assistant teacher certificate in 1972. Jane volunteered at Holy Trinity School, Laconia for a few years reading stories to the kids. She was known as Grammy Ross.
She married Ken Ross on December 19, 1956 and raised a beautiful family of three boys in Sleepy Hollow (North Tarrytown), NY.
Jane loved poetry, games, games, and more games! She would never turn down an opportunity to play a game. Jane loved traveling with her husband and family and was always eager to go on any outing or excursion the Taylor Home or her family provided. Jane was always getting out and about on her Hurricane scooter and soon became known as Hurricane Jane! Sometimes Jane would do something silly and she would just look at you and say, “You just have to laugh”. <3
Jane is survived by her sons Gordon Scott Ross, Douglas Alden Ross and David Walker Ross; grandchildren Bobby, Stryker, Alexandra (Alix), Shara, Jennifer, Joy Lynne, Susan, and David; and 7 great-grandchildren.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Woodside Building at Taylor Community Wednesday, July 26, at 10am.
