Jane E. Albright

Jane E. Albright died April 3, 2017. The daughter of Charles and Melissa Eissner, Jane was a woman before her time. Born in Georgetown, DE, she attended the University of Delaware, and received her BA in chemistry in just 3 years.

She met her late husband Ronald on a blind date, and together they started Albright Opticians. Jane lived a full and active life, teaching nursery school, serving as the President of the Lancaster Mental Health Association, volunteering for Meals on Wheels, and raising a family.  She is survived by her children Debbie Smithgall and Jim Albright; her son-in-law Charlie and daughter-in-law Sue; her grandchildren Allison Smithgall, Amie Savidge, Erin and Chris Albright; and her great-grandchildren Christopher, Carter, Evan, and Emma Jane.  Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Service at DeBord Snyder Funeral Home & Crematory, 141 East Orange Street, Lancaster, PA 17602 on Friday, April 7, 2017.  Friends may greet the family from 10:00-11:00 AM, with a service at 11:00 followed by a private interment in Conestoga Memorial Park.  Contributions in Jane’s memory may be made to the Lancaster Meals on Wheels, 1085 Manheim Pike, Lancaster PA 17601, or Hospice for all Seasons, 280 S.
