Jane Entriken Conner Obituary
Jane Entriken Conner, 92, of Avondale, PA, passed away Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at Wellspan York Hospital, York, PA.
She was the wife of the late James A. Conner, Sr.
Born in West Chester, PA, she was the daughter of the late Dr. John Norman and Grace Matson Brinton Entriken.
Jane was a graduate of Kennett High School and attended the University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, VA.
She was employed at Fred Engle Middle School, West Grove for 29 years, at Sanford School, Hockessin, DE in numerous roles for over 11 years, and part time as a proofreader with the Kennett Paper.
Jane was an educator in the purest sense. She instilled a love of music, history, and the natural world in her children, taking them to countless cultural events and to experience and appreciate the wonders of nature at places like Hawk Mountain, the Eastern Shore, and the Atlantic Beaches of New Jersey and Delaware. Although she was not a classroom instructor, at Sanford School Jane became a trusted confidant to numerous boarding and day students navigating the challenges of adolescence in the turbulent years of the late 1960's. In later years, Jane loved to visit Beaufort, SC, where her mother and two of her sisters resided.
In the 1960’s Jane volunteered as a geneaology researcher for the Brinton Family Assoc., Dilworthtown, PA. She was a member of the church choir at Kennett Presbyterian Church for several years. She also volunteered for the Red Cross as a Gray Lady and she and her husband, Jim were Red Cross Disaster Action Team members.
Jane and her husband, Jim enjoyed summers in Fenwick Island, DE for 30 years with friends from the Avon Grove area. Jane's children and grandchildren were often in attendance at the beach, and treasure many happy memories of those summer days.
She is survived by her four children, Betsy Jane Conner, David Conner (Candy), Andy Conner (Kate) and Sallie Rush (Dave); four grandchildren, Clark, Drew, Grace and Jac; two sisters, Graceanne Sellitto of Dallas, PA and Barbara Entriken of Beaufort, SC; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Jane had a third sister Joan, who passed in 2016.
A Private Graveside Service will be held in Indiantown Gap National Cemetery, Annville, PA. When times are safer, the family plans to hold a celebration of life for Jane and her husband Jim.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Avon Grove Lions Club, 600 N. Baker Station Rd., West Grove, PA 19390 or Canine Partners for Life, 334 Faggs Manor Rd., Cochranville, PA 19330.
