Jane Boggs Hufman

HUFFMAN, Jane Boggs, age 89, of Dayton, Ohio, died December 20, 2003. She moved to Dayton from Cheboygan, MI as a child, and was in the Oakwood High School graduating class of 1932. Five years later she married her high school sweetheart, Horace McKee “Huffy” Huffman. Jane had many loves in her life. While a student at Sarah Lawrence College in New York she studied child psychology and art history, venturing weekly into New York City to work in an orphanage, and roam museums to broaden her knowledge of the world. The love of children and the arts continued throughout her life while working in the book department at the Rike-Kumler Company, promoting the work of the Dayton Art Institute and the Cox Arboretum. She was a wonderful artist who loved to paint and draw. She was a founding member of the Dayton chapter of Planned Parenthood and continued throughout her life to promote their work of educating young women and their families. Jane loved her many years as a volunteer, buyer and Board Member of the Little Exchange gift shop in Oakwood, which supports Children’s Medical Center in Dayton. She was also a honorary legacy member of the Garden Club of Dayton, and a member of the Moraine Country Club. Most of all, Jane loved her family. A wonderful hostess and cook, she loved spending time with them at her homes in Harbor Springs, MI, and Delray Beach, FL, as well as in Dayton, always making a warm and welcoming environment, whatever the location. She was preceded in death by her husband and their son, Michael. She leaves her children and their spouses, Steve and Sally Huffman of Sacramento, CA, Tony and Pokey Huffman of Dayton, Lisa and Ric Loyd of Grand Rapids, MI; ten grandchildren; and two great grandchildren. A private family Memorial will be held. The family asks, that in lieu of flowers, a contribution might be made to either the Dayton Planned Parenthood, 224 N.
