Jane M. Hyland, 80, of Lebanon, entered Heaven surrounded by close family on Monday, March 18, 2024, at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. She was the wife of the late Jay Hyland and was previously married to Donald E. Heist Jr., with whom she had four sons.

Born in Lebanon on May 11, 1943, she was the daughter of the late George H. Jr. and Marian M. Blantz Bucks.

Jane worked for the former Herman & Herzman as a cutter and trimmer. She was also the manager at Dolly’s Laundromat for 25 years. She was a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Jane enjoyed fishing and traveling but especially loved her large family. She loved everyone she met and was loved by all, as many called her Nan or Mom.

She is survived by her sons, Kevin E. Heist, of Lebanon, Brian K. Heist (Eunice), of Jonestown, and Donald E Heist III (Dixie), of Pottsville; sister, Rita M. Duprat-Waldo (Bobby), of New Braunfels, TX; 12 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; nephews, Vincent Tricamo Jr. and James Waldo; nieces, Sandra Waldo and Cindy Neve; two aunts; and numerous cousins whom she loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Troy S. Heist; grandson, Kevin Heist Jr.; great-granddaughter, Madison Weik; brother, James H. Bucks; and sisters, Barbara Waltman (Larry) and Debra Shirk (Bob).

The family would like to thank the staff at WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital ICU for their amazing care of Jane over her last 18 days of life. And a special heartfelt thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Muhiire-Ntakito. They are now family.

A celebration of life service will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 25, 2024, at the Kreamer & Lum Funeral Home & Crematory, Jonestown, PA. There will be a visitation one hour prior to the service.
