She was born on July 16, 1950, in Madison, the daughter of Walter “Wally” and Vera (Laufenberg) Bauman. A 1968 graduate of Middleton High School, Jane earned her Bachelors of Science degree in Education from University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in 1972.

She worked in Vocational Rehabilitation for the majority of her 25 years there, and served as executive director from November, 1998 until her retirement in 2001, when she moved back to Middleton to be with family following health concerns. She enjoyed reading, cooking, exercising (especially her adaptive Pilates and yoga classes), and her computer, but truly treasured most the time spent with her family especially her niece and nephews.
