Jane Offerdahl

Waunakee:  On November 26th, Margaret Jane Offerdahl, loving mother of two children, passed away at the age of 79. Jane was born on January 18th, 1943 in Poynette, WI to Arne and Margaret (Cross) Offerdahl. She grew up in Poynette and received her teaching degree from the University of Wisconsin – Platteville in 1967. Jane taught elementary education for a number of years until she transitioned to focus her energies raising her children, Ericka and Joel. Once her kids were of school age Jane went back to work, first at Ben Franklin in Wauankee and then Piggly Wiggly.

Jane had a fun and witty sense of humor which was expressed in her joking, her presents, and her Halloween costumes. She was known for her delicious desserts, often making them for family and friends as an expression of her love.
