A native of New York and a graduate of Murray State University in Kentucky, Jane was the newest member of the SkyMed helicopter service team based at Park View Medical Center. At the age of 27, she had developed into a dedicated and caring nurse whose love of quarter horses was developing into a hobby for off duty hours.<br />

Shortly before dawn on December 3, 1986 Jane and fellow crew members were transporting a critically ill patient when their rescue helicopter crashed. They had been airborne less than two minutes. All three members of the rescue team were killed in the accident, including Jane and the patient she and the crew were trying to save.<br />
