Mrs. Ortego, graduated to a greater life in the kingdom of Heaven on July 9, 2017, just shy of her 95th birthday. Born in Grand Prairie to Mr. and Mrs. Hebert Ardoin, Jane attended high school in Grand Prairie before marrying and moving to Washington, Louisiana. She will be remembered by many through her 20+ years of dedicated service at Sandoz Hardware in Opelousas. While raising her family she was active in the Yambalee and received many awards for her yam dishes and recipients of her pralines will tell you there were none better. She was a lifelong and dedicated parishioner of St. Landry Catholic Church. Those who knew Jane will testify to her warm heart and giving nature; and as a mother-in-law she was simply the best. Jane was the glue that held her family together. Jane, Mom, Momo will be sorely missed but she will finally be at peace and for that we are all thankful.

She is survived by her 3 sons, John Ortego and wife, Karen of Carrollton, TX, Bernard Ortego and wife, Linda of Magnolia, MS, Kenneth Ortego and wife, Debra of Las Vegas, NV; 3 daughters, Carolyn Cox and husband, Don of Tuscon, AZ, Shelly Harless and husband, Wade of Pensacola, FL, and Marsha Deaville and husband, Don also from Texas; and her sister Merlyn Ardoin Fontenot. She was a grandmother to nine and a great-grandmother to fourteen.
