Jane L. (Alexander) Yoder, age 85, passed away on Friday, May 17, 2019 at Broad Acres Nursing Home in Wellsboro, PA after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. She was born on November 8, 1933 in Roaring Branch, PA, a daughter of Kenneth and Esther (Frey) Alexander. Jane was a graduate of Liberty High School. She spent many years working beside her husband and their sons at Yoder's Market in Roseville. After a few years as receptionist for Drs. Coole and Evans DDS in Mansfield, it was time to move to a warmer climate in Florida in 1979. During those years, she also worked at Hales Grove Stores and Fairwinds Golf Course. There she was able to pursue her passion for golf, winning 9 club championships at Indian Pines Golf Course, and achieving 3 holes in one. A move back to PA in 2013 brought her closer to her family and friends again. Jane is survived by her husband of 68 years, Arnold L. Yoder; four sons, Terry R. (Beverly) Yoder, A.
