Jane Ann (Stables) Loprest, 82, of Macungie, died Nov. 19, 2020.

She was the devoted wife of the late Frank J. Loprest, Ph.D. for 59 years.

A loving mother and grandmother, she took great joy in organizing family vacations and events, bringing together her children and grandchildren for lots of talking, laughing and eating.

An avid reader, she belonged to several local book clubs.
