The Story Of Jane Husman

Meet Jane, an 81-year-old whose life story spans from Shield Street in Cincinnati to sunlit days in Florida. Raised in a hardworking family with Grandpa Henry’s rocking chair nearby, Jane found her spark early, selling candy door to door, living for the neighborhood pool, and clowning her way through kindergarten. She shares the quiet certainty of choosing Jack as the love of her life, a snowstorm wedding where her brother ad libbed the Lord’s Prayer, and the laughter of a wiener dog named Freddy. Her midcentury America unfolds on the road: a turquoise DeSoto bound for the Grand Canyon and Painted Desert, a midnight scare in Hollywood, and a long, hot day when the family car ended up over a Yellowstone geyser. This is a story of enterprise, humor, resilience, and the everyday moments that make a family, now stretching to grandchildren and a new baby on the way. Join us for this warm journey through memory and heart.
