Ambia - Jane Ann (Martin) Leak, 80 years of age, was born Sept. 12, 1933 in Frankfort, IN. She was the daughter of the late Harry and Lulu (Fauber) Martin.

Jane graduated from Frankfort High School in 1951 and from Columbia Christian College in Missouri in 1953. Some of her favorite memories from that time included riding the Monon rails to visit family and building close relationships with university classmates.

Following graduation, Jane moved to Lafayette to begin her career. In Lafayette she met her future husband, Wayne Leak and they were married on Jan. 8, 1956 in the Frankfort Presbyterian Church. He preceded her in death on December 24, 2008.
Jane and Wayne later moved to the farm near Ambia, in Warren County, where they resided for 40 years. While living on the farm near Ambia, Jane was a stay-at-home mother. You could find her helping on the farm and baking in the kitchen. She also enjoyed volunteering her time at the Benton Central High School library. She was a member of the Ambia United Methodist Church and Women of the Church. She and her husband loved to travel.

In 1996, Jane and Wayne moved to Mulberry and lived in the Cottages of Mulberry. While living in Mulberry, Jane transferred her membership to the Mulberry United Methodist Church. She continued to stay active by volunteering her time at the Mulberry Home by delivering mail and meals to the residents. She also hosted events and multiple Bible studies for fellow cottagers in her home. Jane's legacy is her imprint of love and steadfast caring on all who knew her.
Jane met the Lord on the evening of Dec. 2, 2013.
