Jane Arlene (DeArment) Goss

Born on Nov. 5, 1934, in Lewistown, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Anna (Michlavich) DeArment. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Paul W. Goss, who passed away in 1989, and her son, Paul R. Goss.

Jane leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory. She is survived by her daughter, Susan Hendricks, of McVeytown, widow of John Hendricks, who passed away in 2022; her son, Rod Goss of Thompsontown and his companion, Barbara Muggio of Camp Hill; her granddaughter, Samantha Weyant and her husband, Tyler, of Celebration, Florida; and her grandsons, Jarrod Goss and Kyle Goss, both of Lancaster.

A 1952 graduate of Lewistown High School, Jane was remembered by her teachers for her beautiful cursive penmanship, a talent she carried with pride throughout her life. Her exceptional handwriting earned her numerous awards and recognition during her school years, reflecting the care, precision, and dedication that became hallmarks of her character. Following graduation, she began her career as an office assistant for Dr. Elenore Aurand and later worked for Dr. Alan Gordon, where she assisted with eye examinations and various office responsibilities. Her dedication, professionalism, and kind demeanor left a lasting impression on those she served.

Above all else, Jane was devoted to her family. She possessed a gentle spirit, a warm heart, and a smile that could brighten any room. Her caring nature, quiet strength, and unwavering love for those around her will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. The memories she created and the love she shared will remain a lasting comfort to her family and friends.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice 365, Angels on Call, Caregivers of America, and the compassionate caregivers at William Penn Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for the exceptional care and support they provided during Jane’s final days.

In accordance with her wishes, a private memorial service will be held by the family, with interment and additional services to be announced at a later date.

“The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.” May Jane rest in eternal peace, held in the loving embrace of her Savior.
