Interment of Cremated Remains: Residence

Jane Elizabeth Kildebeck Anderson, 77, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025, at her home in Sunnyvale, California, with her loving daughters, after a long journey with Alzheimer's disease. Born on February 28, 1948, in Lincoln, Nebraska to Dr. Orval C. and Margaret Kildebeck. Jane grew up in Torrington, Wyoming, and graduated from Torrington High School in 1966 where she was voted most attractive. She graduated with an honor scholarship to the University of Wyoming where she earned her Bachelor and Master degrees, a reflection of her deep appreciation for both knowledge and problem solving.

Jane's professional career included serving as a law firm manager before joining Kaiser Permanente, where she dedicated over 25 years in a variety of roles, most recently in finance and budgeting. After retirement, she continued her lifelong passion for service, volunteering for Kaiser Permanente and for NODA (No One Dies Alone), an organization especially close to her heart.

Beyond her work, Jane was known as a generous friend who could always be counted on - especially for babysitting at a moment's notice. Her compassion, humor, and steady presence touched the lives of many.

Jane is survived by her daughters Mary (Marcello) Duarte of San Diego and Sara (Igor) Ljubicic of Sunnyvale; son Ben (Teresa) Anderson of Denver; her stepson William White (Hilda) of Orangevale, and by her brothers Jim Kildebeck of Dallas, and Tom (Feronica) Kildebeck of Hong Kong, as well as nine grandchildren with one on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents and husband Dennis White, William's Father and Sara's Stepfather. She also leaves behind extended family and countless friends who will miss her dearly.

A memorial service to celebrate Jane's life will be held at Good Samaritan United Methodist Church on September 14th, 2025, at 4:00 p.m.
