Jane Kasten, age 76, passed Wednesday January 30, 2019, at Ascension Hospital in Oshkosh. She was born March 5, 1942, in Winneconne, WI to Isabel (Harper) and William Gavin. She was a 1960 graduate of Winneconne High School. Jane attended college at UW-Oshkosh.

On October 13, 1962, Jane married Fredrick Kasten at St. Mary Catholic Church in Winneconne. They lived briefly on Lake Butte des Morts and started their dairy farming career by renting a farm near Winneconne. In March of 1967 they purchased a farm near Omro that is now known as Waukau-Creek Farm. Jane and Fred worked side by side raising a family (her greatest accomplishment) and running a successful dairy farm. She took care of her family, the cows, the books, and the fieldwork. Her interest in music and the theater will be remembered in the countless plays she attended with her children and grandchildren. Jane had a love of humor and wit and truly had the Gavin gift of gab!
