Our dear sister Linda Jane Salts (nee Fecht) was born to Emmy Lou and Edward William Fecht on November 3, 1944, in Oakland, Ca.
The family moved to the Kansas City area when Janey, as she was called by her family, was in her early teens. She graduated from Saint Luke’s School of Nursing in 1965, and worked at Saint Luke’s Hospital as an R.N. for many years, eventually becoming a Cardiac Care Specialist. After a long career in the nursing profession Jane became a quality control technician for a large veterinary pharmaceutical firm. Jane absolutely loved this job! She enjoyed the work and her coworkers, and felt she was contributing to animal welfare.
Jane loved animals, and through the years cared for and cherished numerous animals in her home. Jane’s friends always spoke very highly of her, noting her kindness, generosity, wit and intellect (Jane was a member of Mensa). She eventually retired from the Community Blood Center, where she had worked as a components technician. Jane enjoyed a simple post retirement life, caring for her animals, reading and venturing forth on frequent thrift shop excursions. She loved to discuss her “finds” and bargains!
She died on January 24, 2019. She was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her brothers, Daniel and Michael Fecht, both of Kansas City; sister-in-law Kathy, and nephew Adam.
Jane befriended a new nurse in 1974 and helped her enjoy and advance in her profession. I will always be grateful to her.
To the Family, so sorry for your loss. Hope you will be comforted in knowing that Linda has the prospect of being resurrected, healthy (in the flesh), to Paradise Earth just as Jehovah God has promised. In fact , the vast majority will enjoy everlasting life right here on earth as God had intended from the beginning. God’s Kingdom will do this under the rule of Jesus Christ.

I’m so very sorry ? about this. Janey was always in my thoughts, from the time we met as children. I thought she was so beautiful and I loved her so much. One time, when I was perhaps nine, her mom, our Auntie Em, sent me a box of handmedown clothing from Janey—she was a couple years older than I—which I treasured because they were so beautiful. And that’s about the last time I heard from Janey. I visited the family for about an hour in 1969, during the beginning of an ill-fated relationship that brought us to Kansas City, but Janey had already moved away….
Hopefully I can connect again with long lost cousins Danny and Mike, if only to say hello.
Blessings and condolences to the Fecht and Salt families for our loss.
