Jane Sakovitz Dale (October 6, 1950 – March 28, 2016) MONTPELIER: Jane Sakovitz Dale of Montpelier -- a tireless lover of traveling the world, reading novels with her book club, laughing hard with new and longtime loved ones, and eating pastries at La Brioche in Montpelier -- died suddenly on March 28, 2016 in New Hampshire while visiting relatives. She was 65. Jane was born in Framingham, MA to Edward Sakovitz and Kathryn (Brown) Sakovitz. She had a joyous and rambunctious childhood with her siblings and large extended family. She attended Marian High School in Framingham where she was captain of the cheerleaders. Jane graduated from Elmira (NY) College in 1972 with a degree in psychology. After working for several years in Boston, she earned a master's degree in communications from Syracuse University. (She remained a lifelong fan of Syracuse sports). She returned in 1978 to Boston, where she began building a successful career in public relations, marketing, and non-profit development. She worked at Union Hospital and AtlantiCare Corp. in Lynn, MA before joining Cone Communications in Boston. In 1982, she married Peter Dale. Their son, Adam, was born in 1985. The family moved to Montpelier in 1988, the same year Jane and Peter's daughter, Emma, was born. Jane continued working as an independent marketing and public-relations consultant for organizations including Cone Communications, The University of Vermont, the State of Vermont, and the Vermont Cheese Council. Jane most recently worked as development director for Grounds for Health in Waterbury, VT from 2010 to 2015. Jane was deeply involved in her community, volunteering for numerous organizations and causes. She served on the boards of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, Friends of the Vermont State House, Onion River Arts Council, and Lost Nation Theater. She also worked with Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice and the Vermont State Board of Allied Mental Health. From 2003 to 2011 she was an elected justice of the peace and officiated over numerous marriages, developing a special skill for customizing each celebration. Jane was extremely involved with her network of friends and groups including her book club, painting group, meditation circle, and a support group she started. Most recently, she became involved with the Unitarian Church of Montpelier. Jane traveled the world with abandon. She cherished her time with friends and extended family in Island Pond, VT and Cape Cod. She traveled extensively within the United States, the Caribbean, Western and Eastern Europe (including her ancestral homeland, Poland), Africa and, most recently, Cuba. She was always planning her next trip and anticipating making new friends on the road. Jane's magnetism attracted new people everywhere she went. Her warmth and high energy were striking and she liked to think that she always "came from a place of love," a reality that her numerous friends and relatives will firmly attest to. She will be profoundly missed. Jane is survived by her daughter, Emma Kathryn Dale of Montpelier; her son, Adam Edward Dale and his wife, Eucaris, of Prescott, AZ; her former husband, Peter Dale, of Montpelier; her sister and brother-in-law, Susan and James Rutherford, of Ware, MA; and her brother and sister-in-law, Stephen and Kathryn Sakovitz, of Framingham, MA; as well as her former in-laws: Susan and Jim Kenyon of Westborough, MA; Chris and Jeannine Dale of Lincoln, MA; and Tim and Trudy Dale of FL, along with many cherished nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
