ALBANY — Jane Olivia Greenwood-Barry, whose artistry was evident in her photography, her cooking, and her garden, died peacefully on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023, in Albany. She was 60.
 She was born in Voorheesville to the late Donald Greenwood and Sybil Greenwood Kline.

“Jane had a thirst for knowledge and spent countless hours immersed in books, expanding her mind and exploring different worlds through her reading. Gardening was another one of her passions, and she took great pride in nurturing her plants and creating a serene outdoor space.

“Jane Olivia Greenwood-Barry will forever be remembered for her artistic spirit and her presence will be missed by all who knew and loved her.”
