Life Stories
| Posted on December 21, 2023
Jane Foster Lewallen, age 90 years of Niles, Michigan, wife, mother, grandmother, school librarian, traveler and cook died peacefully at 12:15 a.m. on Friday, December 15, 2023 at Woodland Terrace at Longmeadow following a brief illness.
She was born on March 4, 1933 in Goshen, Indiana to Thomas and Florence (Foster) Tilley, and graduated with the class of 1951 from Goshen High School. She continued her education at Indiana University and earned her bachelor's degree in library science and home economics from Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan. She came to Niles in 1958 and was employed by the Niles Community Schools for twenty-four years, primarily as school librarian at Howard Elementary School.
Jane clearly lived a long life and used those 90 years well: traveling to see new sights and experience different cultures; serving her community as a teacher for many years; continuing to serve at the library; and being faithful to her church. But more important were the students for whom she cared, the library patrons, and her family—especially her grandchildren; all evidence of fulfilling the command to love God and love people.
