Jane's Story

Jane Cremer was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she was 57 years old.  She had no symptoms.  No telltale signs suggested that this terrible disease was invading her body.  One day it was just “there”.  She survived 15 short months, dying in 1997 at the age of 58.

Jane was very aware of the devastating effects of ovarian cancer, having lost both her mother and grandmother to the disease. Following her mother’s death, she actively tried to find as much information as possible about ovarian cancer. 

Throughout her treatments, Jane said she wanted to find a way to help other women “once I have this thing licked, so they don’t have to go through this.”  She didn’t know how, but she wanted to help point women in the right direction for information and resources. Though she herself was not able to fulfill her goal, it was because of her vision that her family founded the Jane Cremer Foundation.
