Jane (Page) Cantey, longtime resident of Guilford, passed away peacefully Aug. 27 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of the late Joseph D. Cantey. Jane was born on Oct. 2, 1923, in Indianapolis, Indiana, daughter of the late LaFayette Page and Mary (Duff) Page.

She was the loving mother of John Cantey and his wife Michelle of Ivoryton; James Cantey and his wife Lisa of Madison; Nancy Banasiak and her husband Dr. Kenneth of Madison; and Sally Connolly and her husband Daniel of City Island, New York. She is also survived by seven grandchildren, Dr. Eric Cantey and his wife Nora and Sarah Cantey Breece and her husband Chris, Elizabeth, Andrew, and Emily Banasiak, and Nicholas and Robert Connolly; and her two great-grandchildren Vienna and Brielle Breece. She was the sister of Jim Page. She is predeceased by sisters Ann and Nancy, and brother Lafe.

Jane worked for the United Nations in New York until her marriage when she devoted her time to raising her family and was an active member of the Guilford Garden Club. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Jane was especially grateful to have met and held her recently born twin great-granddaughters before her death. She was an avid New York Yankees and tennis fan and loved the theater, opera, traveling, quilting, gardening, reading, and spending time with her family. One of her proudest moments after raising her family was receiving her bachelor’s degree from Southern Connecticut State University, graduating cum laude in 1993.
