Jane Arthur, a former resident of Pacific Palisades, passed away in Missoula, Montana, on February 8, after a short illness. She was 91 years old. Jane had lived in the Palisades from 1948 to 2000, and was greatly attached to her home on Embury Street, as well as to the Palisades community. With some reluctance, she left the Palisades to be near her son Jim and his wife Kristi. While residing here, Jane worked for 20 years as an administrator for UCLA Extension. After her retirement, she became an active member of St. Matthew’s Church, where she served on the Altar Guild, and with the Assistance League of Santa Monica. Most importantly, she enjoyed the companionship and company of her family, as well as the many friends she had in the area. Predeceased by her husband, James Arthur, in 1972, Jane is survived by her son, James, Jr. (wife Kristi) of Missoula; daughter Susan Watson of Sausalito, California; granddaughter Cindy Welch of Escondido; granddaughter Beth Arthur of Phoenix; and great-granddaughter Lauren Welch and great-grandson Alec Welch. A private ceremony will be held later this year at St. Matthew’s Church, where Jane’s ashes will be interred.
