On January 5, 2011, Jane Spieker Auckenthaler, longtime Peninsula resident, passed away in San Mateo at the age of ninety after a brief illness.
She was born and raised in San Francisco by her parents, J. Warren and Edith Rucker Spieker, and attended the Convent of the Sacred Heart in San Francisco and the French School in New York.
Her four children survive her: Bonnie (Jeff) Bertelsen, Bruce (Katherine) McWhorter, Cindy (Ken) Mela, and Laurie (Jim) Kehl, and she leaves behind ten grandchildren and a great-granddaughter, all of whom she adored. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Joseph Gilbert Auckenthaler, and her brother and sister-in-law, Warren and June Spieker. Her sister, Suzanne Beaver, survives her. She also leaves behind several step-children and step-grandchildren plus many nieces and nephews.
Jane skied and played tennis well into her eighties and she loved to play bridge until her recent illness. She volunteered at the Blood Center of the Pacific (formerly the Peninsula Memorial Blood Bank) for fifty-two years and was a member of the Burlingame Country Club. She lived a very full life and will be greatly missed but will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
The Holy Rosary will be recited at Crosby-N. Gray & Company, Funeral Directors, 2 Park Road, Burlingame, on Wednesday evening, January 12, 2011 at 6:00 p.m. A Memorial Mass will be held on Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Burlingame, with a reception immediately following at the Stratford "Room With a View," 601 Laurel Avenue, San Mateo.
