Obituary of Jane May Puttkamer

Jane May Puttkamer (Hall) is an inspiration and touched the hearts of many. She lived her life with spirit & kindness. Jane surprised us all with the strength she continued to show against her cancer and the side effects. She decided when it was time to surrender and did so quietly. What an amazing woman. She did things her own way with courage and a compassionate heart. She did not back down to conflict, still she was thoughtful. Jane loved to laugh, joke and spread joy. Jane noticed the little things. She loved nature, birds, flowers, family, music, dancing, and playing cards. She was a person to call when you needed someone to talk to. She was a wonderful listener. Her wisdom and guidance will be missed. Jane was predeceased by her husband Paul Puttkamer, her parents, her brothers, her niece and so many other loved ones. We can only imagine the warm welcome Jane had on 2/3/2015. She leaves behind many many loved ones including her children Arnold, Belinda and Brenda, her grandchildren, siblings and their families, so many friends, family and loved ones. Jane spent her early years working as a den mother at the House of Providence. She always had a gift with children.
