QUEENSBURY --- Jane Patricia (Davenport) Ash, 87, passed away Monday, August 5, 2019 after a long illness.

Born on August 18, 1931 in Oceanside, N.Y., she was the daughter of the late Charles Wilber and Geraldine (Hodges) Davenport.

Jane graduated from Laurens Central High School in Oneonta, N.Y., and went on to attend Hofstra University. After her studies, she worked for 10 years at Franklin National Bank and another 10 years at First National.

While she lived on Long Island, she met the love of her life, Raymond B. Ash Jr. On April 29, 1966, during the lovely springtime, the two married. Together, they had one daughter, Tammy Ash Imrie.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her two brothers, Donald and Albert Davenport; her best friend, Marlene Olsen, along with her husband, George, and their son, David; her sister-in-law, Lynn Ash; her brother-in-law, Bob Northgard; her in-laws, Ray and Anna Ash; and a nephew, Johnny Davenport.

Imrie and her best friend, Gina Schwartz Green; her granddaughter, Tiffiny Imrie; her sister-in-law, Ann Northgard and family; her brother-in-law, Robert Ash Sr. and family; her extended family, Tom Olsen and family, Lori Mershon and family; Diane Olsen and family; Sue (Tony) Caputo and family, and Miranda "Pipsause" Olsen; and her adorable cat, Alicia.
