Jane Carolyn Marks (Pinger) passed away on May 10, 2009 at her home on Whidbey Island after a long courageous battle with cancer.

Jane grew up in Seattle, daughter of Floyd and Lillian Dartt.

She was employed at Meadowdale High School for many years and worked for Howard S. Wright and Kenco Construction before retiring.

Jane was an active member of the South Whidbey Eagles Club. Through the years, her lovely home on the water was the hub of activity, love and laughter.

She was a remarkably gracious woman, and had a way of making everyone feel so special.

Jane will be deeply missed by Dale and her entire family.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 22 years, Dale Marks; children Jan (Greer), Scott (Mary), Joan (Ed), Doyle (Marcia), Doug (Mariko) and David; grandchildren Joseph (Maria), Brian (Lindsey), Ben, Michael O., Jason, Jeremy, Joshua, Michael M. and Kameko; great-granddaughter Isabelle Kelly and beloved sister-in-law Nonie Sharpe.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 6 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freeland, and a celebration in Jane’s honor will follow at the South Whidbey Eagles Club, 16691 Highway 525.
