Jane Frances Mercer's Obituary
Jane Frances Mercer left us today, February 26th, to go be with her departed parents (Gladys and Jimmy Foti) and her husband (Richard). She went peacefully surrounded by members of her loving family. She was 32 days shy of her 85th birthday. She was an active member of the Madonna Circle, St. Louis Catholic Church and other Catholic charities. Jane loved to cook, garden, sew, play bridge with her life- long friends, and dote on her grandchildren. She was loved by all and enjoyed a good story, joke and always called it like she saw it. In her last years, she enjoyed watching old movie classics, listening to books on tape and living vicariously through stories from family and friends. She leaves behind a daughter, Leigh Kalb and her two children, Jake and Erin Kalb; a son Rick Mercer and twin sons John Mercer and his wife Sally Clemmons Mercer and their two boys Owen and Bennett Mercer and Jim Mercer and his wife Becky Grattan Mercer and their daughters Elize, Sarah, and Rachael Mercer.
