GATCKE, Jane Alexandra - July 3, 1975 - July 5, 2022
It is with great sorrow that the family of Jane Alexandra Gatcke (nee Wilson), announces her passing, on Tuesday, July 5, 2022.
Jane is lovingly remembered by her family, cherished wife of Brian, much-loved daughter to Richard and Margaret Wilson, devoted mother of Clarke and her precious fur baby Spencer, loving stepmum of Joshua and Jacob, and adored sister of Ian (Sandra), Karen (Paul), Deborah (Gavin), Andrew, and Jamie.
Jane was also loved by all of her nieces and nephews. Jane was a driven professional who dedicated her career to working with non-profit organizations such as World Vision International.
She was a strong advocate for Breast Cancer research and Jane made it her life's mission to raise Breast Cancer awareness.
Jane had a rich enthusiasm for life and loved to travel. Jane loved to spend weekends in Muskoka by the lake and often said these quiet weekends were therapy for her soul. Jane was selfless and put others first. She was fun-loving, outgoing, and vivacious.
Jane touched so many people's lives, and she will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
When you think of Jane, celebrate the good memories you have with her.
