Alice Jane Snell, was born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska on October 12th, 1935 to Byron and Marie (Acton) Joachim.

Janie grew up in Scottsbluff where she went through school and was a Scottsbluff Bearcat Cheerleader. At the age of 16 years old, she fell in love with a Gering Bulldog named Richard Snell. They were married in September of 1954 and for 70 years at the time of her passing.

In the early 1960's, after moving back to Scottsbluff, NE, Jane and Dick had welcomed three children to the family.

There was NOT ONE person who ever met her that didn't love her.
