God has welcomed Jane Carol Campbell of Dover on March 28, 2020 after a long, wonderful and courageous life. Jane and her identical twin sister were born March 19, 1950 weighing 2 pounds 10 ounces, in Batavia NY. Jane and her twin sister were born with cerebral palsy. Jane became able to walk with the aid of wooden crutches at the age of 3. She grew up in Leroy, NY, and attended Leroy Central School.
She relocated to Dover, DE in 1964 when her father was reassigned with General Foods. Jane graduated from Dover High School, class of 1969. She graduated from Delaware Technical Community College. She resided in Dover’s Luther Towers and then Silver Lake Nursing Home. She was well-known for her electric wheelchair and her smiling and cheerful attitude.
Jane loved her family and always inquired about her many nieces and nephews. She was an avid camper visiting 30 states and Canada with her family. Her interests included American History focusing on Presidential history. She also was fond of Broadway musicals, John Wayne movies, and the Philadelphia Phillies. She liked to dress patriotically in red, white and blue clothing.
Jane was predeceased by her parents Harold R. Campbell (2009), Mary Lou Brown Campbell, (2011), brother, Robert W. Campbell (2005) and brother in law Richard Jones (2016). She is survived by her twin sister Janet Campbell Jones of Frederica, DE, and younger sister Sandra Campbell Allen (Joseph) of Manahawkin, NJ, and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Jane Campbell to the Wesley United Methodist Church, 209 South State Street, Dover, DE, 19901 or the Brandywine Valley SPCA 1757 Horsepond Rd., Dover DE 19901.
