Mary Jane (Janie) Curran, 74, of Maryland Heights, MO, passed away on July 7, 2025 in her home surrounded by her loved ones. She was a devoted wife and proud mother and grandmother.

She was born on September 18, 1950 in St. Louis, MO to the late Jaqueline (Cunningham) Zinn and the late Leroy Zinn. She married Patrick Curran on October 22, 1978 in St. Louis, MO. She enjoyed the simple things in life: being with her family, cuddling her dogs and grand-dogs, and family vacations to the beach.

Jane spent her younger years growing up in Webster Groves, MO hanging out with all the firehouse families. Like every teenager, she enjoyed summers in Webster going to the pool, hanging out at Velvet Freeze and meeting friends in Old Orchard. Once she had children, she was an active parent and volunteer at St. Blaise Catholic Church and Grade School. She was a wonderful Girl Scout leader, always organizing crafts and camp activities. She enjoyed golfing with family. In her later years, she enjoyed working with friends and co-workers in the food brokerage business at Crossmark, Inc. and Advantage Solutions. As a grandmother, she enjoyed having her grandkids sleep over including baking cookies, painting rocks, playing games, making big breakfasts, and spoiling them with shopping trips for toys and clothes. Jane loved Christmas time and many of the family's favorite memories are those she created in the Christmas season. Over the course of her life, she also created many family memories on the beach, including Ft. Walton Beach, FL, Outer Banks, NC, and Portland, ME.
