Jane passed peacefully surrounded by loved ones at the Katzman Family Center for Living in Chelsea, MA on March 8, 2026.

Jane was born on April 1, 1935, in Chelsea to her late parents, William and Mary Jane (Rourke) Keenan.  She attended St. Rose School and graduated in 1953.  She became an operator for New England Telephone and later a switch board operator at Leonard Silver.

She was the beloved wife of Woodrow "Woody" Wilson, the love of her life and enjoyed 63 years of marriage until his death in 2022.  They were the devoted parents of Robin M. and her late husband Raymond J. Buckland of Lynn, MA.  The cherished "Gram" of Sean R. Buckland, "Her Baby", also of Lynn.  Dear sister to Marie (Keenan) O'Callaghan and sister-in-law of Roberta Keenan and the late William, Robert, James, Arthur, Thomas, Paul and Alfred Keenan.  Lovingly remembered as "Auntie Jane" by many nieces and nephews and friend Jean (Petersen) MacDonald.

Jane and Woody relocated to Coppell, Texas until his retirement brought them to Pompano Beach, Florida.  However, Chelsea would always be home.  Jane was happiest cooking, caring for the ones she loved, and telling funny stories while having a glass of red wine with lots of ice.

Auntie Jane's door was always open.  Whether it was for a meal, a bed or just a hug or friendship, she was there. She will be missed terribly.  She loved hard and was loved so much by all who knew her.

FUNERAL SERVICES:  Jane will join Woody at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne, MA, together, forever.  Services will be private.  A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

DONATIONS:  Donations in Jane's memory may be made to The Home for Little Wanderers , 72 Dedham St., Boston, MA 02118 or on-line at www.thehome.org
