Remembered for her smile and friendship, Jane Rau worked for more than 30 years at 麻豆精选 before passing away on Saturday, Sept. 21. She was 64.

As a gift analyst, Rau processed, categorized, and tracked gifts for the advancement office for the University.

鈥淛ane was a valued member of the Loyola family since October of 1988, and she will be dearly missed,鈥 said Terrence Sawyer, senior vice president. 鈥淛ane was a dedicated and wonderful member of the Loyola advancement team, and an even better person and friend.鈥

Rau鈥檚 colleagues at Loyola will miss her positive attitude, her ease at conversation, and her concern for those around her.

鈥淭here are so many memories. They鈥檙e all being eclipsed by sadness, but what I remember most is her giant smile,鈥 said Tarah Wilson, associate director of advancement services, who worked with Rau for 17 years. 鈥淪he laughed easily and often and made me laugh, too. She was always so interested in others, and I鈥檓 going to miss her laugh and giant smile. It lit her whole face.鈥

Among the family members who survive Rau are her mother, Janet Morris, who worked in the Jesuit residence at Loyola for many years, and Rau鈥檚 son, Mark, who graduated from Loyola in 2003.
