Jane Atwell

Jane was a 1962 graduate of Warren High School. She and her late husband, Arthur, opened the Frosty Chalet in Tiona, and later owned Atwell’s Fashions in Warren. She was a member of the Tiona United Methodist Church and the East Hickory Methodist Church, but had attended the Emanuel United Church of Christ while living in Warren. Jane was a former member of the Eastern Star and Amaranth. She will be remembered for her cooking and baking, quilting and crocheting, and love of gardening. Above all else, Jane loved her family and spending time with her grandchildren.

She is survived by four children–Aaron Atwell, of Somerset, Holly Colvin, and her husband, David, of Warren, Sheila Atwell, and her companion, Ken, of Ludlow, and Ashley Atwell, and his companion, Melissa, of Clarendon; 7 grandchildren–Mackenzie Check, Noah Colvin, Wesley Atwell, Allyson Atwell, Ireland Brusso, Ellie Mae Mohney and Rayna Atwell; three brothers–Gary Simon, and his wife, Pam, of Jamestown, NY, Barry Simon, and his wife, Jewel, of Warren, and John Simon, also of Warren; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Jane was preceded in death on September 26, 2009, by her husband, Arthur Ellis Atwell, whom she married October 20, 1962.
