Jane Adele Sarbacher, daughter of Mac and Marcia Pea, succumbed to heart failure in her home December 15, 2013. Jane was taken quickly with her husband Gerold Earnest Sarbacher by her side.

Jane spent her final days surrounded by the people she loved planning for the holidays. Jane was a loving, caring, and attentive wife, mother and grandmother.

Jane grew up in Clarkston, Washington with two sisters, Judy Ozanich and Lea Poe, and one brother, Kendall Jackson. Jane attended Kendrick High School and shortly after graduation she met a handsome young man named Gerold Ernest Sarbacher. They were married in Moscow on January 23, 1971 and began their life young and in love. Jane became a mother of four children: Jeremiah, Geroldlynn, Jacinta, and Joseph. Jane and Gerold settled and raised their family in Ferdinand, Idaho and had their marriage blessed in the Catholic Church.

Mom created a loving family and added good to the world around her.

Later in life, Jane and Gerold moved to Rathdrum, Idaho to be with family, and she took on the role of Nana.
