Jane Scambler Gable's Obituary
Jane Scambler Gable, born and raised in Evanston, Illinois, a radiant light whose sparkle and love touched the hearts of all who knew her, passed away peacefully at home on January 24, 2025, at the age of 84 after being diagnosed with Lung Cancer on December 24, 2024.
“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” -Coco Chanel
Jane Gable was not only “classy and fabulous,” she was the most generous, caring, quick-witted person anyone ever had the good fortune to meet. She was always up for an adventure and never met a stranger. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel seen and valued, leaving a lasting impression on every life she graced.
Jane’s greatest source of joy and satisfaction in life was being a mother and mother-in-law to Bradley and Melinda Gable and Janie and Heath Stockton and grandmother to Ellie, Heath, Birdie, and Lilly. Her selfless nature shone through in her unwavering support and boundless generosity towards her loved ones, always putting others' needs before her own.
Jane possessed an innate elegance that permeated every facet of her life, from the care of her home and garden to her effortless entertaining, fundraising, and, of course, her impeccable sense of style. She accomplished everything with quiet grace, seeking no recognition for her many talents and abundant generosity.
Although Jane was tiny in stature her impact on the lives of those who knew her was immense. Her absence will leave a profound void in all of our hearts.
Jane is survived by her loving brother, Jack Scambler, and dear nephews Doug and John Scambler. She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Jane Scambler and her sister-in-law JoEllen Scambler.
A celebration of life will be held in June when her garden is in full bloom.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Blue Ridge Hospice who took such wonderful care of Jane in her time of need.
