When time permitted, Jane enjoyed painting, and other art forms. She was well-known for her hand-churned ice cream and zillions of zucchini recipes. She had an affinity for white cats with blue eyes.Jane touched the lives of many through her service to her community. She taught Sunday School at St. John's Church and served as a project leader in the Zamora 4-H Club. She was a member of the Mary's Cemetery board. In addition, Jane served as an unpaid groundskeeper, moving the sprinkler pipes and mowing the grounds for many seasons. Alongside her husband, Frank, she was active in promoting soil and water conservation practices and education.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Karleen Long, and her older brother, Jim.

She is survived by her husband of almost 71 years, Frank Sieferman; three children, Frank (WHS 1968), Carol (WHS 1970), and Elizabeth; five grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren.

Greg sat in front of me in Mr. Thatcher's class. I was (am) a real bonehead when it comes to Algebra/math. Greg was funny, kind and helpful during the class. He made the class something I could endure! RIP, Greg, I remember you fondly.....

In Memory of: Greg Leiser. I recall walking to Gibson School with Greg, when I was getting a ride home with my Mother, who taught at Gibson. Greg was so fun to talk with on those walks from Woodland High School. A very smart and fun person for sure. I also remember his sister, Pamela in our Class of 1964; and their Mother, Marietta Gilliam Leiser. Blessings to all.

I see posts about classmates our age passing away. What are you you doing to stay healthful? I quit smoking ten years ago, I visit my doctor annually for checkups, I take medication daily, I exercise an hour 4-5 times a week, including some golf, and I lean new things to keep my brain working I don't drink anymore, but I haven't given up caffeine I'm trying to get my diet under control to prevent diabetes (track A1-c) It's a daily battle, but maintaining health adds to the quality of life
