Allenspark, CO – Jane Elizabeth Devlin, age 61, of Allenspark, Colorado, passed away peacefully and unexpectedly in her sleep on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, which, ironically and sadly, was also her birthday. Jane was born on October 28, 1965, in Peterborough, New Hampshire. She was the youngest child and only daughter of Francis E. Devlin and Regina M. Devlin (Quirk). Jane was raised and lived the first half of her life in Jaffrey, NH. She graduated from Conant High School and went on to receive a degree in hairdressing and cosmetology as well as worked in retail for Cherry & Webb. She was also a communicant of St. Patrick’s Parish in Jaffrey.
Following the death of her mother in 1995, Jane moved to Colorado and remained there until her death. Although she made Colorado her home, Jane never lost her New England roots or her unwavering devotion to all Boston sports teams, especially the Red Sox. While in Colorado she spent years working as a surgery scheduler for an eye surgeon as well as a nanny for her great-nieces and great-nephew. She loved being a daily part of Madison, Braydon, and Morgan’s lives! She shared with them her love for reading, animals and adventures. Jane found joy in life’s simple pleasures. But above all else, Jane found her greatest happiness in caring for people she loved. Jane stepped in to raise her great-nephew Brycen as her own and was there for him when he needed her most. To know Jane was to know a rare and kind generosity.
Jane’s kindness extended far beyond her family. She was a treasured friend, a compassionate neighbor, and a pillar of the Allenspark community. She had a way of making others feel they mattered, and her generosity of spirit left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Jane had a knack for storytelling and enjoyed sharing stories from her life with her family. These stories showcased her humor and fun-loving spirit and many times ended with Jane laughing so hard she would cry!
Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Francis and Regina, and her brothers, James and Joseph.
She is survived by her longtime and loving partner, Cody Darnell, of Allenspark, CO; her brother, John Devlin (Weezy), of Dublin, NH; nieces and nephews Brian, Kristin, Jessica, Samuel, Shawn, Chelsea, Jeremy, and Michaela; great-nieces and great-nephews Brycen, Devin, Brynleigh, Teagan, Maddie, Braydon, Morgan, Kate, Steven, Sophia, Raegan, Gregory, Kurt, Cy, Kennedy, and Cian; great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews; and many cousins.
A celebration of Jane’s life was held on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, in Ferncliff, just outside Allenspark, Colorado. A private family gathering to honor and remember Jane will be held at a later date in New Hampshire.
