    Jane Elizabeth Stebbins passed away peacefully at the Commons on Saint Anthony Street on Monday January 16, 2023. Born in Auburn, NY on June 29, 1936, Jane was a graduate of Moravia High School and Auburn Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. While on staff at Auburn Memorial, she was instrumental in setting up the first intensive care unit and served as the first head nurse.
    After retiring from nursing, Jane loved being a stay-at-home mom, gardening and bird watching. There was nothing she enjoyed more than summers spent on Skaneateles Lake with her sons and extended family. Jane had wonderful care at the Commons. It became her home, and the staff members became her friends.
    Jane is survived by her son Mark, her beloved daughter in law Bobbi, and grandsons Ryan and Thomas, sisters Kathleen (William) Walker, and Jan (Rocco) LoPiccolo.
    Jane was predeceased by her husband, Robert, son David, brothers Gerald and John and sisters Bonnie, Carol, and Lynne.
    Calling hours will be held on Saturday, January 21st at Robert D. Gray Funeral Home, Skaneateles from 9 to 10:30am with a service to follow at 10:30. Private burial will be in Soule Cemetery.
    In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to SAVES Ambulance (Skaneateles Ambulance Volunteer Emergency Services) at 77 Fennell St. Skaneateles, NY 13152.

I am so very sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Jane was a lovely person and a great friend. We got to know each other while exercising in the pool in Auburn. She made exercise time fly by. I was always happy when our times overlapped as we always shared a laugh. She was so very proud of her sons and grandsons and appreciated when you and her sisters visited or took her out to lunch. I am having a difficult time dealing with her loss so you all must be absolutely devastated. Love to all of you.

Mark, we are so sorry to hear of Grandma Janes passing. She was like another grandmother to Allison and I.

I consider Jane to be one of my very best friends... little did I know that all of the times I went to visit my brother at the Commons that she was right next door. Found it out this last spring and we had a grand old chat. I remember fondly her days as a nurse and meeting and taking care of her Aunt... the last surviving Seward I believe. Great memories of her also. Jane started collecting dolls with me in the 1980's and we always enjoyed chatting over coffee. May she rest in peace until I get there... and then... well... anything goes. My love to her family

Aunt Jane.. so thankful that you were my aunt. Remembering my very young days at Uncle Bobs parents farm, to so many fun times in the summers on Skaneateles Lake. Sleeping on the screened in porch, Uncle Bobs boat, learning to water ski. Hours upon hours of swimming. Camp fires, bacon cooking in the morning. Fishing on the dock with my favorite uncles. Hide and seek with my cousins and so much more! And my first glass of wine…. with you overlooking the lake. Your face always had a smile, and your heart was filled with love. You always told me you loved me and how special I was. I am glad you are no longer in pain… and so very happy you are with Uncle Bob and David. I love you and will miss you always. Till we meet again on the other side, save a place for me. I love you.
