Jane Margaret Goebel

With hearts full of love and gratitude, we celebrate the life of Jane Margaret Goebel, who passed away on June 26, 2025, after a brave and dignified battle with cancer. Born on March 5, 1957, in Lansing, Michigan, Jane was a cherished daughter of the late Irving and Florence (Slack) Goebel, a devoted mother, sister, and friend. Jane’s professional journey as a receptionist in a dental office was marked by her warm smile and genuine care for others. As a longstanding member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Grand Ledge, she served as the drama team leader for twenty-five memorable years, bringing joy and creativity to many through her passion for the arts. Additionally, her commitment to education shone brightly during her time teaching in the gifted and talented program at Lansing Community College for over fifteen years, where she inspired young minds. Jane was also a gifted writer and performer, having created and toured with over ten original shows in schools throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Her creativity and dedication touched the lives of many, leaving behind a legacy of joy and connection. Known for her kindness and generosity, Jane delighted in nurturing her friendships. She gained the affectionate nickname “Janie Flower Seeds” for her thoughtful practice of sending cards with flower seeds to encourage her friends. In this same spirit of love and remembrance, Jane has requested that flower seeds be distributed at her memorial service, so that all can grow beautiful blooms in her memory. We invite you to join us in honoring Jane’s remarkable life at her memorial service, which will take place at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Grand Ledge on June 30, 2025, at 1:00 PM. Prior to the service, there will be a visitation at the church starting at 11:00 AM, where friends and family will have the opportunity to share stories and celebrate Jane's life together.
