In 1965 she began a 14-year marriage to Larry Don Heimer, Sr. during which she gave birth to her beloved son, Larry Don Heimer, Jr. While living in Long Beach, CA, Jane worked as a Certified Operating Room Technician at Long Beach Memorial Hospital.
After returning to Illinois, Jane received her Associate Degree in Nursing from Illinois Valley Community College of Oglesby, IL.

Parting after 7 years, they remained friends.
In 1989 Jane married the love of her life, James F. Smith. This marriage brought her tremendous joy and a loving extended family which includes 5 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Jane felt very blessed to have been loved by three good men.
