LATHAM - Beatrice Jane Meehan, 94, of Latham, beloved wife of the late Charles J. Meehan, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2026, at Shaker Place Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Albany, with her loving family at her side.

Born on July 24, 1931, in Cohoes, New York, Jane was the daughter of the late John and Beatrice (Hewitt) Sheehy. Jane was a graduate of Watervliet High School.

Jane was an avid reader and enjoyed sports, especially cheering on her children, grandchildren, and later great-grandchildren at their many activities and events.
