Jane Resh Thomas was born on August 15, 1936, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Thelma (Scott) and Reed Beneval Resh.[1] She graduated from the Bronson School of Nursing in 1957 and received a BA and MA from the University of Minnesota in 1967 and 1971, respectively.[1] Thomas began her career as a freelance writer in 1972 after working as a nurse and an English teacher at the University of Minnesota.[2]
