BOTRUFF
With great sadness our family lost Jane Anne Botruff who passed away on April 3, 
2021. She is now with her family and friends that passed before her in the house 
of the Lord.

Jane was born on August 7, 1942 in Portland, MI to the parents of Mildred Huhn 
Nurenberg and Edwin Nuurenberg. Jane lived on a family farm with her siblings as 
well as her grandparents. Later moved to a farm of their own near Palo, MI. She 
attended school in a one room schoolhouse but missed many days of school because 
of her health. Jane was determined to overcome the odds that she had been dealt 
and went on to School in Lansing, MI where she achieved her Cosmetology license 
in May 1962 and worked in two different beauty shops in Ionia. Jane was first 
married in 1963 and soon afterwards her doctor told her that she wouldn't 
survive if she gave birth to a baby. Jane continued not to give up the fight to 
be healthy. She had open heart surgery in 1965, Overcoming the odds, she had two 
sons, Shawn Michael Botruff in 1968 and Brian Scott Botruff in 1970. In 1972, 
Jane met and married Dave Botruff and moved to Marquette, MI where she continued 
to work in the Norlite Nursing Home beauty shop to make the ladies of the 
facility feel good about themselves. Janes's family had many adventures in the 
upper peninsula over many years and then moved to Grayling, MI in 1987 where her 
family bought a home on Lake Margrethe which became the gather place for the 
blended family with great memories of kids and grandkids with Grandma Jane. She 
would spend many hours making everything "just right" for all. He life was for 
her family and she made everyone very special and welcome.

In 2002, after Dave's retirement she spent sixteen winters in either Arizona or 
Florida making many friends from all over the United States and Canada.

Jane is survived by many family members and will be greatly missed and 
remembered for all the love she provided to her family.Her husband Dave of 48
