Jane Vance, 72, passed away Thursday evening, May 28, 2009 at her daughter's home in Dunkirk following a lengthy battle with cancer. Jane was born in Dunkirk on September 24, 1936. She graduated from Dunkirk High School in 1954 and later moved to Albany where she lived most of her life.
She worked at Muncie Health Care for 27 years before retiring due to health concerns and during the 1970's managed the Pizza King (later known as Homestead Pizza) in Albany.
