Jane Kirby

Jane Theresa Kirby of San Pedro California, passed away peacefully from her battle with cancer on November 7, 2019, surrounded by her family in Murphy, TX. Jane fought courageously and was a warrior to the end.

Jane was born March 3, 1952 in Jersey City, New Jersey to Albert and Jane Kirkpatrick. The younger of two siblings, she grew up in Oak Ridge, New Jersey, graduating from Franklin High School.

She is survived by her daughter Kimberly, son-in-law Dave and Grandson Sean. Additional survivors; nephew Jason and his wife Karen, and their 2 children Stella and Reece. Her life partner, Ken, preceded her in death.

Jane worked and lived in several states from Cessna Aircraft in New Jersey, Bridgestone in Tennessee, Sprint in Las Vegas, NV, and ultimately found her home working for Aerospace in El Segundo, California.

Jane described herself as an ‘old hippie’. She was free-spirited, extremely generous, fiercely loyal, often silly and always feisty. She loved the ocean, avocados (and all food, in general!), good music, her cup of tea, and growing plants. She was as much of a tomboy as she was a girly-girl. Jane continuously put her family first and left us with many loving memories. She will be so dearly missed by many.

Services will be held on Saturday, March 14th from 12 - 2pm at Green Hills Memorial Park, 27501 S. Western Ave., Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275, with food and refreshments following the service at Jane’s residence.
