Jane Ann Hesterly

Please join us for a celebration of life honoring Jane Ann (Jordan) Hesterly who passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on May 22, 2023.

Visitation will be held at Hope United Methodist Church, 2920 M-37, Hastings, Michigan, on Tuesday May 30th from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The service will be held immediately following.

Jane was known for her warm and thoughtful nature.  She always shared a smile, a kind word, and through a plate of baked goods, a phone call or a card always let people know she was thinking of them.   She retired from Flex Fab after enjoying many years in her role as Administrative Assistant.  She loved quilting wall hangings and ceramics and won several blue medals for both.

Jane was a great woman of faith and was dedicated to serving the Lord through her commitment to her church.  She had a love for music and was a beautiful pianist - playing the Organ, Piano, and Keyboard during worship services and for the Praise Team and the Choir.  She served on the Church Board for many years and made paraments and worship banners to hang on the walls of the sanctuary.

Family was Jane's ultimate love.  She treasured her family and never let an opportunity pass to let each and every one of them know how special they were to her.  She could always be found spending time with her family, regardless if it was an event, a special day or a phone call - she was always there supporting, praying, and loving.

The daughter of Carl and Mildred Jordan, she was the youngest of 2 children.  She grew up on the farm loving horses.  Some of her fondest memories included sleigh rides through the woods, horse drawn wagon rides, driving the tractor through the fields, and making homemade maple syrup each spring in the sugar shanty.

Jane was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who always put God and family first.   She is survived by her children Kimberly (Hesterly) and Brent Hassevoort and Scott Hesterly; grandchildren Daniel Payne, Jr. and Jessica and Thomas Plochocki Jr., Great-Grand Children Ashley, Sarah, Bailey, Bryce and Ryan, Niece Kathy (Jordan) Bitney, Nephew Bob Jordan, and many cousins.  She was preceded in death by her loving husband Herbert Hesterly, parents Carl and Mildred Jordan and brother Rodney Jordan.   In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been set up at Hope United Methodist Church in Hastings, Michigan.
