Jane was a devout Christian and attended Hope Chapel Windward Church. With a great smile and loving warm nature, she became a friend to everyone. She always kept in touch with new and old friends through the years. Kind-hearted, fun-loving, she was everyone's BFF.
Jane also loved to spend time with her ohana, especially with her grandchildren. She enjoyed sewing, crafting, exercising, fishing with her husband, traveling, and visiting with family and friends. She also finished the Honolulu Marathon several times. Her most memorable trip was the Africa safari hunting and riding the hot air balloon over the African savannah with her husband.
Her spirit will live on in the many lives whom she has touched along her outstanding career as an educator, as a devout Christian, as a loving mother, wife, and dear friend.
Jane is survived by her husband Thomas Uyetake, son Reid (Kelli), daughter Kristi (Will) Sitthisay, four grandchildren, brothers Robert (Cynthia) Uyeda and Ray (Karen) Uyeda, sister Connie (Richard) Ma, and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her parents Robert S. and Nancy F. Uyeda and sister Trudy Arakaki.
