Wangen, Jane P. (9 JUN 1920 – 12 JUL 2019)

Jane P. Wangen, 99, Loyal, passed away on Friday, July 12, 2019, at Marshfield Medical Center in Marshfield. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 18, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Loyal, with Rev. Daniel Zimmerman officiating.

Visitation will be held at the church on Thursday from 9:30 a.m. until time of service.

Jane Petrina Mitby was born on June 9, 1920, in Cashton, to Chester and Margaret (nee Murray) Mitby. She was raised in Cashton, baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church, and graduated from Cashton High School in 1938. After completing high school, Jane continued on to business school at La Crosse Technical College. She married James Kermit Wangen on July 1, 1945, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Cashton. They moved to Loyal to a farm they purchased, and farmed for the rest of their lives. Jim and Jane were a great team with many friends so dear to them. She was always interested in others’ lives more than her own. Horses were her passion, as well as bowling, golfing, bridge, snowmobiling, square dancing, and following all sporting events. Jane lived her life in a “hurry up” fashion with an incredible work ethic. Her quick wit, infectious smile, and kind heart were there for everyone she met. Jane’s faith and church guided her actions.

She is survived by three nephews: John (Julie) Mitby of Madison, and David (Deb) Mills and John Mills, both of La Crosse; and two nieces: Peggy Mitby Huskey of Minneapolis, and Margaret (Rick Onsrud) Mills of La Crosse.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jim, on April 3, 2012; one brother: Norman Mitby; one sister: Joan (Mitby) Mills; and one nephew: Roger Erickson.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, Loyal.
