Jane was born on August 28, 1947, in Arkansas City to parents Howard and Mary (Miller) Neumann. She graduated from high school in 1965 and earned her bachelor’s degree in interior design from OSU. In 1968, she married Don Kerr, with whom she traveled with all over the world during his time in the military. The couple later separated but remained lifelong friends. She later married her late husband, Deiter Luetke. Jane enjoyed arts and crafts, sewing, and reading. She enjoyed traveling, going on skiing trips and cruises, and even to Colorado just to watch the aspen leaves change with the season. Jane’s daughter Kelby and granddaughters, Kenny and Sadie, were Jane’s greatest joy, and she was very proud of them.  Jane loved her family; she was always there when needed and will be missed greatly.

Jane is survived by her daughter, Kelby Kerr, grandchildren, Mersades “Sadie” Campbell and Mackinzy “Kenny” Linares, great-grandchildren, Aralyn and Kinsley, sister, Nancy Mott and husband Mike, brother, John Neumann and wife Patti, and lifelong friend Don Kerr and sister-in-law Marnell, Sharnell and Gaynell. She also leaves many extended family members.

She is preceded in death by her parents and husband.
