Jane Huntington, a former longtime resident of Pacific Palisades, passed away on February 19 of respiratory failure and pneumonia. She was 75. Born in Ohio in 1929 to Lawrence and Christine Milligan, Jane attended Principia College and the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. In 1950, she married Bill Huntington and the couple moved to the Palisades in 1952. Bill opened his own real estate office, Huntington Realty, at the corner of Antioch and Via (today’s Regal Cleaners location), before relocating to Sunset. In 1980, he merged with Jon Douglas and later with Coldwell Banker. Jane was active in the Palisades Woman’s Club, the Republican Club, St. Matthew’s Church and the Girl Scouts. Like many Palisades mothers, she was also very active in car-pooling. Her hobby was collecting and dealing in antiques, and she traveled throughout the United States and Europe with other collectors. Throughout the early years of their marriage, Jane and Bill enjoyed traveling around the country. They visited all 48 states on various car trips and became quite familiar with every rest stop on Route 66. Five years ago, the couple moved to a condo on Lincoln Blvd. in Santa Monica. In addition to her husband of 54 years, Jane Huntington is survived by her sister Ann Rose, daughters Ann Tucker of Iowa City and Linda Wogan of Denver, and five grandchildren. She was predeceased by a son, Hugh. All of the children attended St. Matthew’s School. A private family service was held.
