Mary Jane Helm, 65, went to be with her Lord, Wednesday, January 3, 2024.  She was born Mary Jane Taylor November 27, 1958, in Salina to Chester and Eidth (Solbach) Taylor.

On August 16, 1980, she married Dan Helm.  She worked with her family at Taylor Building Supply until her dad passed away.  She worked at various other jobs in Salina, retiring early to be a full time homemaker.

She loved her grandkids and loved being a grandmother.  Whenever she wanted them for the weekend, she would only need to call, and the grandkids would pack an overnight bag and were ready to go.

Jane loved to travel.  She and her husband Dan, through their 43 years of marriage, were able to visit all 48 states and Mexico.  It was her dream come true.  The only places left for her to visit were Alaska and Hawaii.

Jane is preceded in death by her parents, Chester and Edith (Solbach) Taylor; two sisters, Anna Maye Taylor and Anita (Taylor) Halpain; and a nephew, Bobby Helm.

She is survived by husband, Dan Helm; sons, Jon Helm and Chris Helm (Amy); grandchildren, Madilyn and Evan; five brothers and two sisters; Charlie Taylor (Jeannie), Jim Taylor (Sue), Bill Taylor, Debra Taylor, David Taylor (Terry), John Taylor (Tammy) and Alice (Taylor) Britt.
