Jane Lee Prueher was born on Jan. 9, 1945, in Kingsley, Iowa, the daughter of Rudy and Hertha (Rock) Hinkhouse. She grew up on the family farm west of Correctionville. After graduating from Correctionville High School in 1963, where she earned a mathematics scholarship, she attended the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. Jane graduated with a bachelor of science degree in education in 1967. Later, she received her master's from the University of Wisconsin.

She was united in marriage to Lee Prueher on June 14, 1969, in Racine. Jane taught junior high and high school math in Racine, Wis., for 37 years, retiring from Horlick High School. One of Jane’s favorite sayings was, "Numbers are your friends." Jane moved to Akron in October 2013 to be near family. She became a resident at Akron Care Center in November 2013.

The couple loved both the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. She enjoyed spending time with her sisters, brothers and their families, plus all of her friends and other relatives.
