Jane will be remembered by her family and many friends for her love of people. She had an amazing ability to talk with people and make instant connections. This was demonstrated by her circles of friends from many different places.
After marrying her husband and best friend Robert in Mason City, Iowa, she moved to Bloomington, where they raised their 3 children. She met many important friends throughout her years in Bloomington and continued to make special friendships once moving to Savage. She truly never met a stranger.
Her energy and passion for family and spending time with her children and grandchildren was one of her highest priorities. Family gatherings at the cabin and her time on Lake Roosevelt in Outing, Minnesota, were some of her favorite moments in life.
Her love of sports was also a priority. She rarely missed her children’s sporting events, her grandkids sporting events, and sports on TV including Timberwolves, Gopher basketball, and even the Vikings.
She will be missed by so many but it is certain her reunion with her husband of 56 years was a sight to see.
Jane is survived by her children, Steven (Ann) Buck, Robert Buck, Julie (Lee) Bernick; grandchildren, Molly (Austin) Britnell, Jayme (Alec) Fischer, Jessica (Daniel) Janu, Jennifer Buck, Jack Bernick Patrick Bernick, Jayne Bernick: great granddaughter, Blakelyn Janu; sister, Judy Kleven; other relatives and friends.
Jane is greeted in Heaven by her husband, Robert Buck; parents, Leo and Bernadine Donnelly: brothers, Richard, Robert, Patrick and sister, Frances.
