Jane F. Landauer, age 98, died Wednesday, July 24, 2019, in The Peaks nursing facility in Flagstaff, AZ. Jane was born January 1, 1921, to Eugene and Eliza Johnson in Schenectady, NY, and was the oldest of six children, all girls.
She married Francis A. Landauer on November 25, 1944 and together they reared six children; Kathleen (Robert) Single, Dennis Landauer, Susan (Robert) Knight, Gregg (Terri) Landauer, Joan (Dennis) Olson, and Brian F. Landauer. Jane was also grandmother to 14 grandchildren; Jarrod (Dawn) Single, Jeff Single, Maggie (Jodi Bonk) Knight, Katie (Adam) Leff, Gregg (Meghan) Single, Chris (Kara) Landauer, Steve (Jenny) Olson, Nick (Jerri) Landauer; Andy (Amie) Olson, Patrick Knight, Ryan (Amber) Olson, Kevin Landauer, Megan Landauer, Brian M. Landauer, and 13 great-grandchildren.
As one may imagine, the family was the center of Jane’s life. Her remarkable grace, wit, wisdom, and perseverance inspired three generations. In 1965 Jane moved west from New York to Phoenix, Arizona where she lived and worked until retiring to Munds Park in 1982. She and her husband later moved to Flagstaff in 1998. Jane loved mountain living and the Flagstaff community and was very active in her neighborhoods and her church. She enjoyed nature, gardening, music, and art and was an avid fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Phoenix Suns. Family members knew NOT to call when the Suns or Diamondbacks were playing on TV.
Our mother was preceded in death by our father, Francis, and her sisters Margaret Roraback, Ann Kumpan, Eileen Donlon, Marion Flynn, and Claire Montanye.
