Jane S. Underwood, 93, of Hadley, MA passed away peacefully on December 26, 2021 at The Center for Extended Care at Amherst.

Jane was born in Northampton, November 27, 1928, daughter of the late Linn and Ruth Underwood. She was raised and educated in Hadley. In 1950, Jane graduated and received her RN degree from the Springfield Hospital School of Nursing. She worked as a nurse and supervisor for 30+ years at the former Springfield Hospital, now known as Baystate Medical Center. Jane was a member of the First Congregational Church of Hadley for 79 years.

Her love for travel took her on many trips with friends and family across the country and around the world. At home, Jane could usually be found in her sewing room, knitting or stitching up a project. She was always working on articles of clothing which she generously donated to the Baystate Medical Center NICU and Pediatric Departments for their young patients. She made many beautiful holiday dresses for her great-nieces when they were young, sometimes with a matching dress for their doll. Jane was an avid Red Sox fan, never missing a game on TV. As her eyesight deteriorated, she would be glued to the radio to catch all the plays. She also enjoyed listening to books on tape which she received through the Perkins School for the Blind.

Jane is survived by her three sisters: Alice Underwood and Shirley Parsons (Earle), both of Hadley and Nancy Johnson (Richard) of Athol. She leaves behind several nieces and nephews along with their spouses, and many great-nieces and great-nephews.

There will be no calling hours. A private graveside burial will be held at Wildwood Cemetery in Amherst.

In lieu of flowers, it is suggested donations be made to the Perkins School for the Blind (www.perkins.org) or the First Congregational Church of Hadley, 102 Middle St, Hadley, MA 01035.
