Jane Ann Brindle, age 82, of Toledo, passed away on Saturday, January 6, 2023. Jane was born on December 7, 1941, in Defiance OH, to Charles and Edythe Behringer. She was a longtime resident of the Toledo area and served the community as a nurse for over 40 years.

Jane was compassionate and caring, especially to her patients.

During her time as a school nurse, Jane led a communicable diseases effort, completed home visits for the local Bureau of Children with Medical Handicaps, headed up a Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever education program and was active in a host of nursing issues affecting women such as child and spousal abuse, AIDS education, breast cancer prevention, and parenting. She also worked with the Help Me Grow Program. Jane was an advocate for her patients, always honest and genuine in making sure they received the best care.
