Miss Goetten was the most pleasant teacher you could ever have. With her friendly smile in hallways & class, that “home row drill” just clicked along.
Shorthand I & II went well too.
It helped me get a job at 3M where my 4 male employers said I was the best secretary they ever had! The credit goes to her, sweet Jane❤️🙏🕊️

Jane was born on March 10, 1934 in St. Cloud to Allison “Buster” and Hedwig “Hattie” (Chalk) Goetten. She graduated with a degree in Education. Jane was employed by School Districts in Albany, Melrose and Canada.
The things that made Jane unique were: a special connection, lasting a lifetime, to her girl scout troop; fondness for Central Minnesota lakes; growing red roses; doting over her parents, Buster and Hattie in their later years; and spoiling the grandchildren of others.
She is survived by cousins, Ed (Cathy) Laubach of Richmond, Carole Sandene of Charleston, WV, Gretchen (Ken) Preimesberger of Bloomington; as well as extended family and friends.
Jane was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Andrew Goetten.
A Special Thank You to the Staff of Chateau Waters and the CentraCare and Fresenius Dialysis Teams for all the care given to Jane over the years.
