Jane Borroughs

Jay, Kate and Scott, Your mom was one of a kind and touched the lives of so many. Our son Mike thought the world of her. When he went through a difficult divorce, she sent him chocolate chip cookies and that wasn't the first time. Her students were always special to her. She always made the Romeos Ghirardelli chocolate chip brownies and the guys loved that. She was a charter member. She was a great friend and had a wonderful smile every time you saw her. We will all miss her. The Wehrley Family

I am so sorry to read of Mrs. Burroughs passing. She was my teacher at Thoreau and a colleague at Verona Schools. I will always remember her as being so kind and full of life. She took a leave when I was in first grade to have a baby, Kate. Imagine my surprise to meet Kate at Verona High School during speech class while I was student teaching. I later took Janes position at the middle school when she moved to the high school. This encounter began my 25 years as a special Ed teacher. Mrs Burroughs was one of the many special teachers that I had who inspired me to be a teacher. May you all be comforted by your memories of her.

Thank you for your graciousness. God Bless you.

Having just learned of Jane's passing, I both very saddened but honored to have known her via our UWPlatteville Alum Board decades ago..being a Platteville native and men's hoops fan, I felt a kinship with Jane and the basketball history her family had. We were often at the same games, tournaments and get-togethers and always enjoyed each other's enthusiasm! She had relatives in Platteville from my late parents' living there so another bond was formed. I regret I could not send my memorial sooner but just received the Alum Today and saw her name...please accept my deepest sympathy but know I shall always remember her for her joyousnss and sincerity and love for UWPlatteville.
