Jane Elizabeth Brandt, 90, passed on to Heaven as the brilliant sun rose, Saturday morning October 20th, 2018. It was a joyous occasion as she was welcomed with open arms by God and her husband of 49 years, Robert A. Brandt Sr. who preceded her on that journey in July of 1999. Jane was born December 31st, 1927 in downtown Lebanon, Pennsylvania as the first child of four to Myles Robert and Kathryn (Landis) Yorty. She graduated from Lebanon High. Jane attended and graduated from, The Lankenau Hospital School of Nursing, Philadelphia, PA in February of 1948.

Brandt Jr. in 1952 and Patricia Jane Smith in 1955. Jane and Robert moved to Lancaster in 1955. Jane's primary focus was her two children. She graduated them both from college. She embedded habits that have guided them to successful careers. She taught them values that have oriented them in community service. She loved them right into loving families of their own. She never quit, she willed it to happen. After focusing on molding her kids, in 1969, she accepted the position of Gift Shop Manager at the Show Case of Fashion, a high-end ladies fashion boutique in Lancaster. She worked there until she retired in 2014. Jane was the secretary of the Lancaster Horse Show during the sixties which was an annual event held at the Lancaster Riding Club. She was a member of the Lancaster Riding Club, The Conestoga Country Club and The Hamilton Club.

She moved to Luther Acres in Lititz, PA for the final stanza. Her family expresses appreciation for the dedicated individuals from Luther Care, Hospice & Community Care, Home Instead and Your Neighborhood Connection who shared in the last chapter of this great story.
