Janice "Jane" Urban

Janice “Jane” Urban, 77, of Schuyler passed away Friday, January 1, 2021 at her home in Schuyler.

Following Jane’s wishes, she was cremated and no services will be held. She will be buried in the Schuyler Cemetery.

Jane was born on February 7, 1943 in Columbus to John H. and Lorraine (Neuman) Engel. She attended school in Schuyler, and graduated from Schuyler High School in 1961. She met Victor Urban after he was honorably discharged from the service and they were married on May 6, 1965 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Schuyler. For several years she enjoyed babysitting, then working at The Scalehouse, and eventually became the sexton for the Schuyler Cemetery. Jane enjoyed her job with the cemetery and still held her position as sexton until her passing.

Jane enjoyed being outdoors, which is why she loved taking care of the Schuyler Cemetery, but when she wasn’t working, she was tending to her garden, flowers or her many houseplants. She loved taking random trips with Vic to the casino and also enjoyed working on crossword puzzles. Jane loved and enjoyed the time she got to spend with her grandson Wyatt.

She is survived by her husband of 55 years Victor of Schuyler, son Samuel (Samantha) Urban and their son Wyatt of Columbus; mother Lorraine Engel of Richland; brothers Jon (Ann) Engel, Jerel (Carol) Engel, Joel (Susan) Engel; sister Julie Nosal, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jane is preceded in death by her father and daughter Angela Urban in 1989.
