Jane Ann Boyle

Jane Ann (Foster) Boyle, age 70, left this earthly life on November 16, 2021, at the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames, Iowa. Jane's strong faith in her Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, motivated her to serve Him every day. During Jane's twenty year battle with Parkinson's Disease, she was focused on the truths of the Bible knowing her eternal home in Heaven would soon come.  Jane was born October 12, 1951 in Webster City, Iowa to Gordon and Flora Lea (Rogers) Foster. Most of her growing up years were in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Jane graduated from Fort Dodge High School in 1969, and from Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge earning an Associate of Arts degree in 1971. She attended Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa and Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, Iowa. Jane met Greg Boyle at a church youth event and they were married on July 10, 1971, in Fort Dodge, Iowa. God blessed Jane and Greg with two sons, Shaun Daniel and Scott Alan. The family grew to include Shaun's wife Marybeth and their son Joshua, and Scott's wife Ciar and their daughter Harper.  In the couple's fifty years of ministry together, they served six Iowa churches in New Virginia, Marshalltown, Monroe, Indianola, Rockwell City, and Toledo. Jane was the office manager at the Iowa Regular Baptist Camp in Ventura, Iowa, where Greg served as Director. Jane also worked at the F.B.B.C. Library, Cerro Gordo County Public Health Department, Indianola Middle School as a teacher's associate and Administrative Assistant at the AEA 267 in Marshalltown until her retirement in October 2016.  While living in Ankeny, Jane continued being involved in church activities.
