  SCHLOTTERER, Jane Mitchell  09/16/07   Daily American
  
    Jane Mitchell Schlotterer, 91, Somerset, died Sept. 12, 2007, at home in The Heritage.
  Born Emily Jane Mitchell in Romney, Ind., she lived in western Pennsylvania for most of
  her life, including Pittsburgh, Hidden Valley, and since 1997, Somerset. Her husband of
  66 years, George Brighton Schlotterer, died in 2003. She is survived by three daughters:
  Susan Whitmyre, Long Beach, Calif.; Sara Ciborski, Temple, N.H.; and Stacy Frazier,
  Somerset; seven grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren, two born within the past
  month. Her grandchildren are Gabriel Frazier, Somerset; Zoe Singer Rouwen, Brasschaat,
  Belgium; Ariel Singer Shensa, Pittsburgh; Lauren Ciborski, Philadelphia; Michael
  Ciborski, Temple; Marian Ciborski, San Diego; and Roland Whitmyre, Long Beach. In her
  youth Jane was a trained actress, with a B.A. in dramatic arts from Carnegie Institute of
  Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University). After raising her family, she traveled
  extensively, either with her husband or friends, visiting Europe, Egypt, and South
  America. She actively supported many social justice causes, including the struggle for
  racial equality in the 1960s and more recently world peace. She was also active on behalf
  of environmental issues, especially global warming. Throughout her life she was an
  accomplished craftsperson and artist, working in pottery, sewing and embroidery, and oil
  painting. She was a devout Christian and member of St. Francis-in-the-Fields Church, and
  she participated in a weekly medtation group, based on Quaker practice, which she
  helped form. Instead of flowers, the family requests donations to: The American Friends
  Service Committee (www.afsc.org), the Somerset Humane Society (www.somersetpets.org), or
  the Environmental Defense Fund (www.edf.org). A memorial  service is planned for a
  later date.
