Jane Adeline Trosvik, a cherished soul and devoted matriarch, was born on September 18, 1937, in Pelican Rapids, where she spent her formative years and laid the foundation for her rich and fulfilling life. Her journey came to a gentle close on August 8, 2025, at the Pelican Valley Senior Living, leaving behind a legacy woven with love, dedication, and cherished memories.
For three decades, Jane lent her skills to West Central Turkey, serving as an administrative assistant with grace and diligence. She was revered not only for her professionalism but for the warmth and kindness she extended to all who crossed her path. She married Earl Trosvik on August 11, 1956, embarking on a life together filled with shared adventures and unwavering support for one another.
A devoted member of the Faith Lutheran Church, Jane found solace in her faith and community. She loved gardening, spending time at the lake, and traveling throughout the world, including trips to Africa, China, Australia, and New Zealand. For 25 winters, she embraced the warmth of Mission, Texas, where everlasting friendships were nurtured.
Jane's family stood at the very center of her being. She is survived by her sister Marion and three children and their families; Daughter Kim and husband George, daughter Emily (Ryan) and children Nolan and Audrey; son Zach (Megan) and daughter Taylor; daughter Mackenzie (Daniel); and son Marc (Arianna) and son, Moisés; Son, Thomas and wife Tammy, their children; daughter, Brittany (Nathan) and their son, Carson. Son Devin Schell (Madison) and son Nash. Daughter, Hannah and her children; Kenyah, Phoenix, Portland and River; Daughter Fiicity and partner Maggie, son Joseph (Savanna) and children Leighton, Greyson, and Tanzi: son Sheldon (Emily) and son Lewis: daughter Sydney (Collin) children Simon and Logan; and Alexis (Jamison) and daughter Ella.
She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Earl Trosvik; her parents, Herman and Adeline Poss [Bunkowski]; and her siblings, Cecil, Margie, and Billy and grandchildren Tyler and Alyssa Trosvik.
Jane’s eternal love and devotion are best reflected in the profound connections she nurtured, particularly with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Perhaps her greatest accomplishment lay in the deep and abiding love she shared with them, a bond that will resonate through generations. Her connection with beauty and nature was captured in the way she loved gardening and spending time at the lake.
A memorial service will be conducted for Jane on Tuesday, August 12th, 2025 at Faith Lutheran Church of Pelican Rapids beginning with a time of visitation at 10 a.m. Formal services will start at 11 a.m., with a time of food and fellowship to immediately follow.
