PAOLA – Sally Jane (Hunsaker) Green, 90, passed on Wednesday, 25 January, 2023, at Life Care Center in Osawatomie, Kansas with family and friends. Jane was born 11 March 1932 to Ralph and Sallie (Waugh) Hunsaker at the family farm in Turin, Iowa. She came from a family of three brothers and two sisters, whom all have deceased.

She later moved to Mapleton, Iowa with her family, where she graduated from Mapleton High School with the class of 1950.

She worked at a bank in Mapleton and then attended flight attendant school in Omaha, Nebraska. During her visits with her grandparents and family in Olivet, Kansas she was able to attend local dances with her cousins. It is at one of these dances that she met Jesse Dale Green Jr who was from Melvern, Kansas. They were then married April 3, 1954 in Omaha. From this union two children, David and Diane were born.

Jane and Dale then moved to a place west of Melvern, then north-west of Melvern and finally to a farm three miles west of town in 1955. There they farmed and lived for 55 years until Dale's passing in 2010. Jane was busy with the farm and raising children. She then worked for more than a decade with the Melvern School's food service. She was involved with the Melvern Methodist Church and other clubs.

Jane and Dale enjoyed following their grandson's activities and were regulars at their school events. They also liked to travel including camping trips with family. They continued to travel to various areas of the country later in their lives.

After the passing of Dale, Jane moved to Paola to be closer to family. She became involved with the Paola Methodist Church and attended other community activities with friends.
