Jane E. Fansler Obituary

Jane E. (Jenny) Fansler passed away after an extended illness. Jenny was a long time resident of Colorado Springs and Black Forest. She graduated from Wasson High School in 1966, attended the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo and Colorado University in Boulder. She enjoyed many things in her life particularly sewing, gardening and studying the lineage of the Royals of England. Jenny was smart, snarky, opinionated and cynical but sometimes she could be persuaded that she wasn't right all the time. It was one of her best traits. She was the hub that kept her many friends connected. Jenny was a funny and generous friend who enriched the lives of all who knew her. There will be a Memorial Wake at the Spirit Keeper Tavern, 11627 Black Forest Road on Saturday, August 6, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. Jenny wanted any donations in her memory to go to Safe Place for Pets, P.O. Box 38202, Colorado Springs, CO 80937 which is an organization that places pets of terminally ill people in safe and loving homes. For more information, contact Kim Finney (719-495-2453) or Melody Morris Clements (719-276-1353).

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I think of Jenny so often, with love and joy that she was in my life. But really missing her. Wish we'd had more years to share.
She truly was the glue that held so many friends together and I'm sure they have missed her just as much.

Jenny was never as interested in talking about herself as she was listening to others and being interested in the big world around her. I will always treasure her love, laughter and our friendship. I think of her as a "Blue Rose", a little off color but oh so sweet. She will live on in my heart forever. I was Peggy Frymire and am now (husband is Sam)

Even though Jenny and I did not keep in touch for all these past years we did share some special times together back in the 60's & 70's. She was a special person and I always think of her fondly. I can only wish her plenty of laughter and happiness as she passes on to another existence. Marrin "Fitton" Sampson

I don't have the words to express how grateful I am to have known Jenny, but I am confident that she is off into a whole new adventure.

Jenny was a very special person and will be missed for sure! Although we weren't able to visit much with her since we worked together at the Air Station, we certainly have fond memories of her skills, wit and friendship. We are saddened that she had to endure such an unpleasant illness to the end. She's now at peace and away from the suffering at last.

This planet is a whole lot less interesting without Jenny in it. She was a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm crammed into a tiny little person. I'll miss her laugh, her wit and her hilarious insights into the world around us. I'll miss you forever, Jenny! Mel
