Jane Ellen Graham

Jane Ellen Graham, born on September 17, 1946, passed away on August 20, 2026, surrounded by the love and warmth of her devoted family. Her life was a testament to kindness, faith, and a steadfast dedication to those she cherished.

Jane is survived by her loving husband, Dennis Graham, whose partnership and companionship were the center of her life. Together they built a family that became her greatest pride. She was the beloved mother of Paula (Richard) Schreck, with whom she shared a particularly close bond, highlighted by many cherished travels together. Jane was also a devoted grandmother to Samantha Graham, Jillian Schreck, Cameron Graham, and Rae Graham, all of whom brought immense joy and smiles to her days. Her legacy continues through her great-grandchild, Everett Graham, whose arrival brought Jane even more delight.

Family was Jane’s greatest treasure—she valued time spent with loved ones above all else. Jane is also survived by her sister, Alice Threet, and her brother-in-law, Jim Graham, who were important pillars of support and friendship throughout her life.

Jane was preceded in death by her dear parents, Roy and May Ohl, and her brother, Jimmy Ohl. Their memory remained with her always, and she honored their lives through her own compassion and grace.

A woman of many interests, Jane found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid reader and found meaning and community in attending bible study. Jane was a member of the Red Hat Society and she treasured the friendships she made there as well as the wonderful time they all shared together. Shopping was a pastime she thoroughly enjoyed, yet it was time spent with family that she cherished most deeply. Wherever she traveled—especially with her daughter Paula—she collected both memories and laughter, enriching her life and the lives of those around her.

Friends and family will gather to honor Jane’s memory at a visitation on September 2, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Newcomer Funeral Home, located at 837 Mid Rivers Mall Dr, St Peters, MO 63376.
