KENNEBUNK – Jane was born in the early morning hours of Christmas 1925 in Baltimore, Md. to Frank and Myrtle Fallon. She grew up in a close knit, multigenerational Irish family. Jane attended Catholic schools and then trained to be a mechanical draftsperson, work she enjoyed for several years until focusing on raising a family. She married Neill Cole in 1951, and they spent the next 58 years living in a variety of locations in the Mid-Atlantic and New England, creating lovely homes, always with a view of water. Jane was a poet and a photographer, with a keen eye and a quick wit. Life will be less colorful without her. A long life thoughtfully closes with the following: We’ll Meet AgainAll has been told to those who care.Repeating is like dust in airRemembering is the tie that bindsWe’ll meet again, keep that in mindWe know the grave is not the goal,Your life has ended, not your soulDeath is not the final partingOnly an interruptionHappens every dayIn the course of life’s seductionTJC 2021. Jane was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Edward O’Neill Cole. She is survived by her daughters Patricia Cole Moshimer, of Kennebunk and Kate Cole Fallon, and spouse Bern Shanfield, of Portland; her grandchildren Leith Cole Moshimer and spouse Charley Zimmerman, of Kennebunk, Carrie Jane Meier and spouse Edward, of Tuftonboro, N.H., Alex Cole Dulac and partner Krissy Huff, of Westbrook, Rose Fallon Moshimer and fiancée Dana Elie, of Biddeford; and great-grandchildren Evelyn Jane and Benjamin Edward.
