Jane was born in South San Francisco on October 10,1957 and lived in California her entire 67 years. She grew up in Redwood City and lived most of her adult life in Felton where she felt fortunate to live among the beautiful Redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains.

She attended school where she excelled and graduated at the top of her class. She joined the IBEW LU332 and worked 15 years in the field. She met her husband, Richie, on the job, and they went on to create a beautiful family and life together. She collected friends all along the way and remained in contact with many throughout the years. She was an avid reader, an adventurer, and lover of all things with fur and feathers. Her absolute passion and joy was having the fortune of staying home and lovingly raising her two children Kristine Cella and Kenny Cella.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Cella Jr. and children, Kristine Cella and Kenny Cella. Other survivors include her mother, Mary Wyckoff, siblings John Wyckoff (Jackie), Don Wyckoff (Svetlana) and Beth Smith (Bill). She was pre-deceased by her father Bruce Wyckoff.
