Obituary of Jane Eleanor Carlson

Jane Carlson passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on September 5th, 2024 at the age of 77 just weeks shy of her 78th birthday. Born September 30, 1946, she came into this world to be the wonderful mother to not only her two daughters but countless children in her daycare of 47 years and grandmother to her 7 grandchildren. Jane lived life to the fullest, was generous to all and loved to be a hostess for all the showers and celebrations within her very large extended family. She loved dancing, attending karaoke, and going out to dinner and a movie in her later years. In her younger years you could find her waterskiing, sunbathing, boating, downhill skiing, motorcycling, and walking with friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dale and Eleanor Erickson, sister, Judy Wick, nephew Doug Determan, and former husband Dale Carlson.

She is survived by her daughters, Amy (Steve) Moberg and Andrea Drake, Grandchildren, Joshua, Jeremy, ZoeAnna, Jack, Neely, Beatta, and Reese along with her special friend, Larry Skancke, first husband, Robert (Tane) Alexander, sister Paulette (Robert) Lavone, and brother, Roy Erickson, lots of nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews and so many friends.

She will be missed in this life but we look forward to being reunited with her in Heaven.
