Heaven gained a jewel on April 26, 2017. Sarah Jane Calvert was born in St. Joseph, Michigan to Charlene (Shuburte) Calvert and Eugene Calvert. Janie leaves behind her daughter, Kaitlynn Elizabeth Ritchie, mother, Charlene Calvert Reinhardt, stepfather George reinhardt, sisters Terry Calvert, Mary (Calvert) Koretsky, Libby Calvert, and a brother, Charlie Calvert. Jane was raised and went to school at Watervliet, Michigan school system. Janie loved baseball and played catcher and pitcher in Jr. High School. Jane also played JV basketball. After high school, Jane earned her diploma in cosmetology and eventually went on to become an accomplished master stylist and color specialist. Later on, Jane went back to college at Everest Institute and earned her degree as a certified medical assistant. But her true passion was being a stylist which she excelled in her entire adult life. Jane was also a member at New Hope Lutheran Church in Melbourne, Florida. Janie always had a smile on her face no matter how she felt. The apple of her eye was her daughter, Katie who inherited Janes' red hair and infectious smile and laugh. Jane enjoyed spending time with her family . To know Jane is to love Jane. She had the most wonderful sense of humor and loved to sing and dance. Janie was naturally funny with unbelievable charm and grace. She never had a bad word to say about anyone and was always there to lend a helping hand when needed. Jane touched the lives of everyone she met. Once you met Jane, she was absolutely unforgettable. Jane made an incredible impression on you. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting Jane, you'd know what we are talking about. Waiting with open arms to welcome Janie into heaven was her father Gene Calvert, Uncle Sam Shuburte, Aunt Essie Shuburte Culver, grandmother and grandfather Shuburte and Grandmother and grandfather Calvert.
