In Memory of

Jane F. Armstrong

September 19, 1955 - January 4, 2021

Obituary

Jane Francis Armstrong-Oyler passed away Monday January 4, 2021 surrounded by family. Jane was
born September 19, 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri, and is preceded in death by her loving parents,
David and Margaret Barry, siblings, Bridget Barry, Denny Barry, and David Barry, and son Jonathan
Armstrong. Jane leaves behind her soul mate, husband of 33 years, Tim Oyler. She is survived by her son,
Chris Armstrong, two daughters, Meg Shiers and Molly Rew, daughter-in law, Amanda Armstrong, and
two son-in laws, Allan Shiers and Alex Rew. She will also be greatly missed by her grandchild Lakelyn
Jane Rew, who she often referred to as the love of her life. Jane never really liked dogs until she met and
raised Lily Oyler who we often called her “favorite” child. Jane had a large family including siblings
Denise Sullivan, Michelle Davis, and Kathleen Jacobs. Of all the things she did in life being with her family
was her favorite. She loved to have family gatherings where she would spend the weekend cooking for
everyone. An avid crafter, Jane loved making jewelry for anyone she met and really enjoyed crafting
every weekend with her kids and nieces and nephews. Jane retired from the IRS after 33 years of service
and enjoyed her time traveling with family. Jane fought a heroic battle with cancer the past four years
and her family is so proud of how strong she remained throughout. Always loved, forever missed, and
never forgotten. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be sent to the American Cancer Society or St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital.

A public visitation will be held from 10am to 11am Friday Jan 8th. A private service for family will follow at 11am.

I was so sorry to hear this. Several from her IRS family were fortunate to see Jane last year during one of our luncheons. She had an excellent career with the federal government, one to be very proud of for certain. So happy she was able to meet her granddaughter in March who shares her name. She was so proud of her family and spoke of you often. Thinking of you all. Take care.

I first met Jane when she was a Chief of LR in KC. She always took the time to talk with me. I will always remember her making jewelry during our negotiation breaks. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed dearly.

I worked with Jane for many years. She was always my “go to” person. So smart and very good at her job. Condolences to her family, I’m sure she’ll be missed tremendously ?

We both worked with Jane – D directly in Labor Relations and I knew her from Employment. Jane also trained me when I was a new Staffing Specialist in Employment before she went to LR. We both were saddened to hear of her illness and passing. We will keep her and her family in our prayers.

I started my career with Jane as a tax examiner, she always made us smile.m she was a dedicated employee who knew her business. God’s peace to her family and friends. She was so proud of her family.

Jane did my orientation when I started at the IRS in August 1988. We spent many years working together in Employment and Labor Relations. She was also a dear friend and she will be missed.

Test in Peace Jane. I always enjoyed working with Jane. She was gave good guidance and was a straight shooter.

I worked with Jane at IRS. I remember she was fun to work, especially at Halloween when she would bring costumes for us. My condolences to her family.

I met Janie my second year at IRS. She was working as the Head Timekeeper and I became her student. Her patience was great and I gained a wonderful friend. Her beautiful auburn hair and tenacity were admired by many. Later as a manager I and Jane worked closely handling Labor Relations situations. She represented me in many discussions with NTEU. She, Gary Williams, and I had some interesting discussions! I’m so sorry I didn’t know she was suffering from cancer. My sister suffered the same disease. I shall see you again my friend in Heaven. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

To Jane’s Beloved Family: I had the joy of knowing Denise, David, and Jane as a child and adolescent. They were an integral part of the Christ the King community and lived just a couple of doors from my cousin and as such was over there playing as a child. In later years, Jane would commemorate our childhood joy with a Grade School Reunion joke which I fell for hook, line and sinker. She was always a bundle of joy. I thank God for her presence here in life and look forward to the joy she will bring you in spirit with her continued presence in your lives. God bless the Armstrong, Oyler, and Barry family’s during this trying period and may He travel with you on your journey of grief. With empathy and sorrow,
Mark Biersmith
