Jane B. Nin, age 64, of Downingtown, PA, USA, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, July 3, 2023 while vacationing in Costa Rica. Born on March 19, 1959 in Penn, Buckinghamshire, England, she was a daughter of the late Alan Nin and Margaret (Hibberd) Claridge.

Jane was a graduate of John Willmott Grammar School, class of 1977. She continued her education at Birmingham University College of Food, in the United Kingdom, completing her degree in home economics. She worked for many years at Marks & Spencer Head office in London, as a Food Selector, responsible for developing new ready-prepared meals from single kitchen samples through to large scale production. She was also responsible for the packaging and food photography. She was a pioneer in the U.K in developing dishes that could be heated in the microwave within their packaging. She spent much of her life traveling and moving with her then-husband and their family, around the world: throughout England, Dubai, Pennsylvania and Venezuela. Jane bravely gave birth to their three children on three separate continents!

Jane was an avid traveler, gardener, chef, baker and adventurer. She thoroughly enjoyed hosting friends for themed dinner parties, being together with her children, doing arts and crafts and playing make-believe with her three granddaughters, as well as gathering with family and friends from all corners of the world. She dedicated many years of her life to charity and volunteer work, and had a strong desire to help those in need. Of particular note, Jane poured a lot of loving energy into Veniños, Venezuelan children in Need, which she co-founded with friend, Lisa Tylee, to benefit street-children and ophans in Venezuela. Jane will be remembered for her infectious laugh, youthful and giggly disposition, bright and endless, bountiful energy, and the loyal, loving warmth which she extended to all with who she came in contact.

Jane is survived by her three children: Rebecca, wife of Stephen Longenecker Jr., Samuel, husband of Megan, and William; three granddaughters, Eva, Elisabeth, and Edith; one sister, Jill, wife of David Durnell; and a niece and nephew, Charlotte and Christopher.

A funeral service will take place in the St. Andrew's Episcopal Church on Friday, August 4th at 11:00am EST, with time for visitation with the family at 10am. Officiating will be Rev. Ben Capps. Burial will be held privately. Please be in direct contact with Jane's family if you make plans to attend the service in person. Dress code: no black please! In the spirit of celebrating Jane's life, the family request that dress code be colourful.
