Jane Stuart Schulze

She was a beloved wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. Jane was born March 13, 1933 in Trenton, NJ, graduated from Burlington High School and lived most of her life in Willingboro, NJ. She was a graduate of Cedar Crest College, Allentown PA, with a BS in Education. Jane proudly worked for RCA in Moorestown, Willingboro Township, the US Census Bureau, and the Burlington County Surrogate’s Office. She was also the Office Manager at Carl P. Schulze Law Offices.

Jane was an active member of her community. She was a member of the Willingboro and Beverly Presbyterian Churches, Willingboro School PTA’s, the John F Kennedy High School PTA, and campaigned to establish Burlington County College. She was the past President of the BSA Troop 86, Women’s Auxiliary and the past First Lady of Burlington County Council Boy Scouts of America.  Additionally, she was a member of the AAUW as well as the Cedar Crest College Alumni Association.

She was proud of her family, her morals and family values that were forged as a child:  Jane was a fourth-generation farm girl from Willingboro, the daughter of James Cresswell and Eleanor Hartman Stuart. She was devoted to her church, enjoyed vacationing with her family, doing crossword puzzles, and needlepoint. Jane also had a special place in her heart for her daughters-in-law, whom she treated as her own daughters.
