Jane Kimmel, age 69, of Canandaigua, NY died on September 23rd, 2025 after a battle with cancer.  Jane formerly lived in Concord, NH and Honolulu, HI.  She was born in Lima, OH and graduated from Lima Senior High School.  She completed her bachelor’s degree at Miami University of Ohio and earned her Juris Doctor degree at University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law.

Jane served as an officer in the United State Marine Corps from 1979 to 1983 and was stationed in Honolulu, HI.  She left active duty with the rank of Captain and rose to the rank of Major while in the reserves.  After attending law school she served as an Assistant County Attorney in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire for nine years.  She then returned to Hawaii where she worked in various legal settings including disability rights, private practice, and as corporate counsel for AlohaCare, a nonprofit health plan in Hawaii.

Jane was a woman of many interests and talents.  While in Hawaii, she became a licensed massage therapist, ran the Honolulu Marathon five times, and paddled outrigger canoes.  She was a staunch New England Patriots fan for many years until Tom Brady decamped to Tampa Bay.

Jane’s parents were Joel and Rebecca Kimmel of Bluffton and Lima, OH.  She is survived by her sister, Mary Kimmel, of Canandaigua, NY (formerly of Concord, NH), her brother, Alan and his wife Pamela, of Busselton, Western Australia, and their two sons, Robert and his wife Jaime, and their two children India and Jarrah of Western Australia, and Tom and his wife Susannah, and their two children, Jackson and Darcy of Western Australia.

Jane will be honored by spreading her ashes in the Pacific Ocean off Oahu, Hawaii.
