[21] In August 1952 Jane was diagnosed with cystic endometrosis. Dr. C. Burns conducted an salpingo-opehorectormy at this time. Jane was continually bothered with tenderness and pain in her reproductive system, and had a partial hysterectomy at an early age which prevented her from having children.
Jane educated herself at Bowling Green State University, University of Michigan, and Teacher's College at Columbia University, obtaining a Ed.D in Child Developmental Psychology. She later completed a post-doctoral study in Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University and New York University, New York City. She was the first in her family to obtain a university degree.
She was associated with the leading researchers and educators in early child development. She taught from 1957 to 1976 in the Graduate School of Education, Department of Psychological Foundations, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. She co-authored in 1973 with dean Milton Schwebel "Piaget in the Classroom" that 30 years later is still in print.
She was a pioneer in establishing Head Start in South Carolina. She taught at Rutgers Univeristy for over 25 years. After her retirement to Arizona, she continued to work at the Univeristy of Arizona and in the local school districts.
One of Jane's favorite poems:
Daughters
We are daughters
in a hand of generations
etched
in a mold of individuality.
framed by mothers'
grace repose
mistakes
laughter
to do and be
what she was not
power
to plan our own path
Serenity to turn
a stone on its side
polished
with insight
the larger part.
A ribbon to tie
on the curl of our own
a kiss
to bless the new ones
in ruffles.
