Jane Frances Meyer was born October 11, 1964, in Tilden, Nebraska, the daughter of Frank and Agnes Meyer. She graduated in 1982 and moved to South Dakota.
On February 29, 1988, she married Charlie Brunson and had five children together: Frankie (Robert) Rath of Box Elder, Charles (Amy) Brunson of New Underwood, Cody (Special friend Alisha) of Kadoka, Kylie (Michael) Jones of Kadoka, and Wylie Brunson of New Underwood. She was grandma Jane to the most special grandchildren Cyrus, Thean, Kelton, Bryndel, Raeleen Jane, Paisely, David, Izzy, Silver, Oliver, Remi Jane, Jack, Jimmi, and LouAnn. And she was spoiled rotten by her brothers and sisters, Steve and Charlotte Jockens of Oakdale, Nebraska, Judy and Jerry Kopetj of Norfolk, Nebraska, Susan and Barney Barlett of Norfolk, Thomas and Sheri Meyer of Michigan, and a step-daughter Kelsey Brunson of Missouri.
Jane did so many things in her life and loved running Janes’ Boardwalk Pizza. She made so many friends there from all over the world. She had so many close friendships.
A private family graveside service was held at the Belvidere Cemetery.
Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday, October 11, at the New Underwood School Gym.

This is heartbreaking. Jane was a beautiful person. She helped countless people, and was loved by so many. She is unforgettable. Anyone who knew her was blessed by her friendship. When I think of Jane the first thing that comes to mind is how her eyes would light up and her smile when she talked of her grandkids. My deepest condolences to her family.

Wylie and all the Brunson family, we are very sorry for the loss of your mother, Jane. I always enjoyed visiting with her when Wylie was at our place. I was so happy when Wylie went to Mitchell Vo-Tec for his education, and I know that he became a lineman, very proud of you. I remember your father, Charlie, and always enjoyed visiting with him and his stories he told. If only a person would have had a tape recorder to remember the good times. The Brunson family will be remembered in our prayers.

Such sad news. She was a very good friend when we lived near Belvedere by her and Charlie. We spent a lot of time at their house. My daughter Heather Nelson and Frankie were little at the time and had such fun times playing. Jane was such a good cook and they always wanted us to stay for a meal. I saw her a few times in the last few years but not nearly enough. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.
