She volunteered many hours collecting for the American Red Cross and American Heart Society. Jane loved to play in the outdoors in her vegetable garden and loved swimming in the ocean. But she most enjoyed her grandchildren by playing with them and showing them the world they would be experiencing. She loved singing her Polish songs her mom taught her and always had a smile for everyone. She spent the last 20 years traveling with her son Vincent throughout the United States, and took each experience as something new to see and enjoy. She will be greatly missed by everyone who ever met her. Services for Mrs. Zvanya were held privately at the request of the family and under the direction of the LeRoy P.
