Did you know Jane? You did if you were: a property owner in Glen Arbor since 1998 (Township Treasurer), belonged to the Glen Arbor Women’s Club (Treasurer), worked on the Glen Arbor Smorgasbord (Co-chair), shopped at Tiny Treasures in the 90’s, a member of the Citizen Advisory Council for the Sleeping Bear Dunes Area (Secretary), had children in the Glen Arbor nursery in the late 80’s (Educator), or been part of any committee with Jane, observing her quiet demeanor of getting the job done. It’s easy to see that Jane touched all in our community. And so, we are all saddened by Jane’s death.

Mrs. George Bulliss, known to most as Jane, died June 29th after a brief illness. Jane became a Glen Arbor resident in 1984 after moving from Grand Rapids with her family. She is survived by her husband, George, her children Katie (Brad) Oleson, George (Lauren) Bulliss, grandchildren Samantha Oleson and Owen Bulliss, and brother Jim Livingston of Williamsburg, VA.
The Glen Arbor Women’s Club is in the process of developing a scholarship in her name for students of Glen Lake Community Schools. Jane worked closely with the school promoting the Club’s scholarships for Blue Lake, Girl’s State, Lois Vander Noot and a host of other opportunities for the students. If you would like to contribute to this scholarship, please send your gift to The Glen Arbor Women’s Club, P.O. Box 412, Glen Arbor, Michigan 49636. Jane will go on touching our community.
