Jane Irene Koepke, 67, of Tucson, Arizona, passed away on December 19, 2021 in Tucson.  She was born on August 7, 1954, in Tawas City, Michigan, to Howard & Alice (Grenke) Scholtz.  Jane moved to Tucson this year, and was a Certified Nursing Assistant.

 

Jane would say her greatest accomplishment was being a mom and grandma.  She loved being apart of her grandchildren’s lives, watching them as they grow up.  Jane also loved her family and many friends. She also enjoyed spending time crocheting, giving them as gifts to those close to her, and as gifts to others.  Jane was always excited to learn a new stitch and to show them to her daughter.  Jane was loved by many and will be truly missed by all.

 

Jane is preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth Koepke Sr; 1 son, Kenneth Koepke Jr; 1 sister, Betty Frank; her parents, Alice & Howard Scholtz; and also 1 brother, Howard Scholtz.

 

She is survived to cherish her memory by 1 daughter, Tina Brewer (Brian); 1 son, Kirk DeBuck; 2 sisters, Jean Bedford and Joyce McKelvey; 3 grandchildren, Alexis, Trinity & Hunter Eberhardt; and also the love of her life, Micheal Thomason.

A Celebration of Life will take place in Michigan in the summer of 2022.
