JANE ROHN

JANE ROHN JUNE 4, 1943 – APRIL 23, 2023 It is with profound sadness that the Rohn family announces the passing of Jane Rohn of Manitowaning, Ontario on April 23, 2023. Jane was the wife of Bud Rohn, whom she missed daily since his passing 11 years ago. He was the love of her life and she passed peacefully, wanting to be with him again. Jane, a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, friend and community member, will be greatly missed. In chatting with people who knew her, she was described as a force of nature, feisty, opinionated, lovely, intelligent, funny, always ready for a chat, and a woman who fiercely loved her family. She loved Manitoulin and her home on the water, where she spent her days reading, sewing, baking, playing computer games, gardening and riding around on her riding lawnmower with the trailer behind her, filled with brush she had just cleared. At 79 years of age, she was incredibly independent; there was nothing that woman couldn’t do! Jane was born in Smiths Falls on June 4, 1943 to Ethan and Shirley Row (predeceased) and was a sister to Dick (predeceased)(Rita), Judy (Roger), Maureen (Colin predeceased) and Leslie (John). There, she met and married her one true love, Bud and was welcomed into the Rohn family by Betty (predeceased) (Frank), Bev (Leo predeceased), Barbara (Maurice) (both predeceased), Sandra (Barry predeceased) and Sharon (predeceased). Jane was a strong, wise and loving mother to Pam, Shawn (predeceased) and Colleen (Jeremy), and an adoring grandmother to Lauren, Jayden, Joel and Dexter. She loved keeping up on the news about her nieces, nephews and cousins. She had many friends, who became family, and we all have wonderful memories, touching experiences and hilarious stories that will help us through this deeply difficult time. Out of respect for Jane’s wishes, there will not be a formal service, but a Celebration of Life will be held in the future. In lieu of flowers, Jane wished to follow in Bud’s footsteps and leave a legacy for the township of Assiginack. Donations can be made, in her memory, to The Assiginack Recreation Programming Reserve, Box 238, Manitowaning, ON P0P 1N0.
