Jane M. (Mooers) Harburger died peacefully on August 12, 2023, in her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born October 14, 1949, in Houlton, ME, the daughter of Albert Mooers III and Marie (Stackhouse) Drew.
Jane graduated from Houlton High School in 1967. Following graduation, she earned a bachelor's degree from Husson University in Bangor, ME and later obtained her Master of Education in Technology from Lesley University, Cambridge MA. Jane married the love of her life, Richard Harburger, and they settled in Brewer, ME. They celebrated 51 years of marriage in May.
Jane had a love for teaching, adored her students, and regarded all the teachers and administrators she worked with as family. She taught at Fort Fairfield and Presque Isle High Schools and later spent many years at Reedsbrook Middle School in Hampden, ME, which she considered her home away from home.
Jane was surrounded with love and faith from her church family. She attended Church of the Good Shepherd in Houlton, ME, St. John's Episcopal Church in Presque Isle, ME, and spent 36 years with St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Brewer, ME. She had many travel adventures throughout the U.S., Europe, Russia, and recently took her dream trip to Tanzania for a safari. Jane wished a special thank you to the outstanding doctors who cared for her throughout her battle with cancer, Dr. Vanadia and Dr. Rock at St. Josephs, and Dr. Chodkiewicz at Lafayette Family Cancer Center.
