Jane Hilton, longtime resident of Chelan, Washington died January 25, 2021 in Milton-Freewater, Oregon. She was 92.
Jane, and her husband Carl, moved from Seattle to Chelan in 1967. They bought property up Purtteman Gulch Road where they lived together until Carl’s sudden death in 1988. Jane continued developing the property—she finished building a beautiful log home and ran a small orchard she developed there.
She and Carl were active members of the Chelan Seventh-day Adventist Church, which they helped build.
Jane was the mother of four girls: Karla Hilton, deceased (1954), Pam Stubbe of Malaga, Washington, Jana Perrin of Milton-Freewater, Oregon, and Diana Martinez of Chelan Falls, Washington. She had 12 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
She loved Jesus, loved her family, and loved doing “big” projects.
No public service is planned. She will be laid to rest next to her husband Carl at Fraternal Cemetery in Chelan.
