Jane was born on August 15, 1953 in Shelburne. She was the daughter of the late Doris (Allison) and Allan Poole.
Jane was a waitress for many years until she found her true passion of being a foster parent. She was also a girl guides leader for many years and enjoyed crocheting, playing bingo, crib and any card games for her past time.
