On March 12, 1952, Jane was united in marriage to Lloyd W. Benberg at the parsonage of the Grace United Methodist Church at Spencer, Iowa. To this union one daughter, Cathleen, was born. Jane and Lloyd were engaged in farming north of Storm Lake from 1952 until retiring in 1984. The Benbergs moved into Storm Lake in 1996. Jane enjoyed the life on the farm and helping Lloyd with field work, especially at harvest time. Jane was a member of the Bethel Baptist Church at Newell, Iowa. She enjoyed baking, gardening, sewing on rainy days, and fishing for bullheads with Lloyd and Cathleen. For the past 10 years, Jane and Cathleen enjoyed visiting with new friends at Sparky’s 3 & 71 Truckstop. She loved taking joyrides through the countryside, usually including a stop in a park for a thermos of coffee and cookies. Phone calls and visits from family and friends were highlights of her days.
