Three days before her 91st birthday, Jane Herrmann passed away on Friday, surrounded by her devoted daughter and loving family at their home in Weybridge. Her courage and stamina in the face of a prolonged illness was an inspiration for both family and friends. Jane was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey to Samuel and Eva Bartlett on March 26, 1921. She grew up in Roselle, New Jersey and graduated from Abraham Clark High School. After graduating from Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in Newark, New Jersey during World War II, Jane enlisted in the Womens Army Corps and was commissioned a 2nd lieutenant. She was assigned to duty at Tripler Army Hospital on Oahu, nursing the wounded from the South Pacific Theater. Her memorable travel to Hawaii included passage through the Panama Canal as well as enduring a typhoon crossing the Pacific. After the war she married Kenneth Herrmann on October 25, 1947. Their only child, Mary, was born in 1949 and they soon settled in Belle Mead, New Jersey, where she helped her husband build their home and pursued a career in nursing. In addition to medical surgical nursing, private duty, and psychiatric nursing at The Carrier Clinic, Janes fondest memories were the clinical trials she helped conduct at the New Jersey Neuro-Psychiatric Institute in Skillman, New Jersey. There, she was in charge of conducting clinical observations on new medications that were being evaluated on chronic schizophrenic patients. On several occasions, she was invited to present at the National Institutes of Health in Washington, D.C. Jane is survived by her daughter Mary and husband Walter Goodale of Weybridge. She is also survived by her 3 dear grandchildren Patty Judy and husband Matt of Culpeper, VA, Mike and Heather Goodale of Bridport, and Jen and her partner Sunny of Weybridge. In addition to her nephew Frank Reusch and wife Barbara and their children, niece Lynne and husband Pat Nocera, nephew John and wife Lynnda of California, she is survived by her dear friend Cynthia Voorhees of Millstone, New Jersey. She also leaves behind her loving pets and grand-pets: Jake, Eddie, Tucker, Max, Izzy, and Bear. She was predeceased by her husband of 50 years, Ken, her parents Sam and Eva, her sister Elizabeth, her brother-in laws Frank and Roger and her sister-in-law Edith as well as numerous close friends and her dear cousins in Maine.
