Jane Gleick Komer was born September 9, 1926 in St. Louis, Missouri. She died January 24, 2009 in McLean, Virginia. Jane grew up in St. Louis. As a teenager, Jane attended summer camp on Bear Pond. She made lifelong friends there and loved it so much that she returned to settle in Maine later in life. Jane lived in Bridgton for almost 40 years. She was an active member of the state and local Democratic organizations and volunteered at the hospital coffee shop for many years as a member of the Bridgton Hospital Guild. Janes son Richard now owns a property on Moose Pond where Janes descendants and relatives enjoy the Maine life that Jane loved. In addition to Richard, Jane is survived by her son Douglas Komer of Annandale, Virginia, and her daughter Anne Komer of Sausalito, California, as well as five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

At Janes request, no memorial service is planned.
