A graveside service will be held for Jane M. Oiseth on Monday, October 27, 2014 at 11:00 AM at the Lakewood Cemetery. The Reverend John Holt will officiate.
Jane Margaret Oiseth passed away at the Good Samaritan Society on Sunday, October 19, 2014. She was 78 years old.
Jane was born on September 27, 1936 to Kenneth and Ruth (Esse) Oiseth, in Albert Lea. The family moved to various locations, including Omaha, Kansas City, Chicago. In La Grange, Illinois Jane attended and graduated high school. She attended Luther College for one year. She worked for a daycare in the Chicago area that cared for children from age two to four. Jane decided to continue her education, so she enrolled in St. Olaf College. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Art Education and Psychology. She returned to the Albert Lea area where she taught Art in the Albert Lea school district. She also was a part of "Gallery 101," an art store located on Broadway in Albert Lea. She retired in the 1990's. Jane was a very thoughtful, positive and friendly person, often at her best in caregiving, supportive roles. Throughout most of her life, she used to her skills as an artist to turn blank canvases and other media into wonderful pieces of art.
She will be deeply missed by her brother, Michael (Lonnie) Oiseth, of Bloomington; nephews, Nils (Maren) Oiseth, of Minneapolis, and Jon Oiseth, of Chanhassen; and a niece, Amy (Jay) Grass, and grandniece Hanna, of Denver, CO.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Ruth; and two brothers, Jon and Mark. Blessed be her memory.
