Jane Ellen (Strommen) Busch

On Sunday, October 25, 2020, Jane went home to be with her husband, Merlin, to whom she has greatly missed since 2006. Along with Merlin, Jane was greeted by her numerous pets over the years.  Jane loved animals. Whenever, Merlin would ship livestock, Jane would go in the house and cry because they were her pets. One heifer, Baby, she bottle fed until it was full grown.

Jane will be most remembered for having a loving and kind heart, always going out of her way to help anyone in need.

She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith at St. John’s Lutheran Church near Starbuck, MN.  She attended country schools in Pope County and Glenwood Public Schools. On March 25, 1953, Jane married her soul mate, Merlin Busch. They were members of Zion Lutheran Church. Sharing a passion for farming and animals, together, they farmed in Hudson Township.
