Jane F. Kroner, age 80, was like that, having boundless energy and a zest for life. A victim of glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, she died peacefully on May 2, 2018. Jane grew up in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and prior to moving to Prescott in 2005, she lived most of her life in Chicago, Illinois. She was a graduate of Beaver College (now Arcadia University) located in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and earned her Master’s degree from Loyola University in Chicago. Jane worked as a second-grade teacher for several years before beginning her long career as a flight attendant for Trans World Airlines. In 1979, she was the honored recipient of the TWA Flight Attendant Award of Excellence at a ceremony held in Warwickshire, England. While living in Prescott, Jane volunteered for Hospice Family Care and the West Yavapai Guidance Clinic Senior Peer Program. She was also a serious yoga practitioner, taking three classes a week at the Lotus Bloom Yoga Studio. Jane leaves us with the memory of her beautiful smile and the vitality and elegance in which she pursued her life. She is survived by her partner of 53 years, Marilynn Bishop; Jane and Marilynn were married on Sept. 19, 2015. Also surviving Jane are her brother, Paul Kroner and wife Lynne; her niece, Jill Wolter and family; her nephew, Scott Kroner; the Ronald and James Bishop families; her many, many friends in Prescott and Chicago and her beloved dog, Buddy. May the Kingdom of God welcome you, dear Jane, as your soul soars to Eternity! Information provided by survivors. |
