Jane Krejci

Jane Laws was born July 17, 1937, in Omaha, Nebraska to Leonard and Vera (Maness) Laws. Jane grew up in Omaha and graduated from Omaha Central High School in 1955. She went on to attend the University of Nebraska-Omaha for two years. Jane married Desmond Price in 1957, and was blessed with her daughter, Pamela Jane. She raised her daughter in Omaha, and married Frank Krejci on March 27, 1975, in Harlingen, Texas. Jane and Frank later made their home in Elkhorn. Jane worked for 10 years at Mutual of Omaha, did some modeling for them and was even named “Queen of the Day” while there. She then worked for Bruce Widstrom and Associates, but after she married Frank, she became a full time stay at home mom. She was very active with school events and helping with field trips. Jane was a kind, loving, strong, supportive and classy woman. She was an avid fan of Husker football and was always ready for a good meal at Farmer Brown’s or El Bee’s, or maybe a meatball sandwich at Sortino’s. She loved her cat, Joey, golfing, gardening, reading, bowling and playing cards on Fridays with her friends. Most of all, Jane was dedicated to her family. She loved traveling with Frank, hosting sleepovers for the grandkids, and attending the great grandkids’ sporting events. Her family was her joy, and she was the best mom anyone could ask for. Jane passed away Monday, December 2, 2024, at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska at the age of 87 years, 4 months, and 15 days. She was preceded in death by her husband Frank Krejci, parents Leonard & Vera Laws, brothers Leonard “Warren” Laws and Jerry Laws, and sister-in-law Jean Laws. Jane is survived by children Pam Price-Van Hook, Robert (Gail) Krejci, Lori Krejci-Smith (Larry), Debra Rae Krejci, grandchildren Andrew Roach, Sarah (Michael) Peschong, Frankie (Tom) Smith, Dakota Smith, Remmington Smith, and Winter Smith, and Michael Moreland, great grandchildren Jace and Easton, and niece Debi Brown.
