Jane H. Bjorge, affectionately known to her close friends and family as Janie-bird, completed her final flight to her heavenly home on November 26, 2023. Jane was born on September 1, 1941 at St. Nicholas hospital in Sheboygan, WI to George and Val Bierman. Her family moved to the Green Bay area where she graduated from high school and attended the UW extension center until relocating to Milwaukee where she attended Prospect Hall graduating with outstanding credentials as an executive secretary. She worked for several private and public companies until becoming a highly respected executive administrative assistant for the Boston Store where she worked for over 20 years. She was known for creating a professional and highly productive workplace while sharing her delightful smile and humble attitude with customers, custodians, and CEOs alike. Jane was an avid reader who could name all the bestsellers and quote the latest gossip columnists. Her gentle spirit and love of a good laugh contributed to making friends wherever she went.
Jane was preceded in death by her husband, Robert C. Bjorge, and her parents George and Val Bierman, her nephew-in-law John K. Bartosz, and her dear grandnephew Jack Bartosz. She is survived by her sister, Julie (Andy) Detling, her nieces Sarah Detling Bartosz, Katherine (Aaron) Kincaid, very special grandniece Annie Bartosz, and her joyous grandnephews Tommy Bartosz and Griffin and Jameson Kincaid.
An 11:00 A.M. Memorial Service will be held on Dec. 22, 2023 at Fox River Congregational Church at N34W23575 Capitol Drive in Pewaukee, WI, with a light lunch to follow.
