Jane Booker Schelberg

Jane Booker Schelberg of Queenstown, MD, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2021, at her home. Born on July 1, 1928, to the late James H. Booker of Queenstown and Blanche Moore Booker, she was 92 years old. Jane graduated from Centreville High School and earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Delaware. She went on to become a high school English teacher for Queen Anne’s County schools. After moving to Annapolis with her family, she later worked as an editor for the Maryland State legislature, a job that she loved and where she made many long lasting friendships. Jane volunteered with the Women's Auxiliary at Anne Arundel General Hospital (the "Pink Ladies") and was also one of the founding members and President of the Great Meadow Garden Club. After retiring to the Eastern Shore, Jane began her career as an antique dealer with shops in three locations. She spent many happy days with her husband, Charles, traveling to auctions and antique shows in pursuit of hidden treasures. Jane especially loved spending time at the beach with her family and friends and enjoyed many memorable trips with her husband. Her favorite pastime though was spending time on the front porch with Charles and surrounded by her children, nine grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. "Grammy" will be greatly missed by all who adored her. Jane is survived by her son, Charles B. Schelberg (Allison) of Georgia; her three daughters, Meredith S. Boyle (P.J.) of Towson, Kathryn S.
