Jane Duble Riddleberger passed away on January 27, 2026, after a brief illness. Born in Front Royal, Virginia, Jane returned after spending her career in Washington DC as an office manager for members of Congress.
She is survived by her sister Alexina Riddleberger Fagan, nephews Patrick Galloway Fagan, Brendan Thomas Fagan (Elizabeth), and grandniece Eve Galloway Fagan. Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Robert H. Riddleberger, Jr. and Alexina Galloway Riddleberger, and her brother-in-law, Frederick Charles Fagan.
Our family will deeply miss our beloved sister and aunt whose kindness, caring, and love touched us all. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the devoted friends and caregivers who so thoughtfully looked after Jane.
A memorial service will be held later.
I was saddened to hear of Jane’s passing. I was a classmate with her at WCHS. Jane and I shared many fun times together during those high school years. Unfortunately we didn’t stay in touch with each other since then but I will always remember what a great girl she was.
My sincere condolences to her family during this difficult time.

I’m so saddened by this news of dear Jane. She and I had so many fun years in Alexandria. I just saw where the King and Queen were in Front Royal yesterday so I immediately called her so I could ask if she curtsied to them and see if she went to the block party (even though we both knew she wouldn’t). I couldn’t wait to hear her take on it but the phone was disconnected. This one is a tough loss for me as I know it is for you. She loved Patrick and Brendan so much and talked about them so often. Alex, I remember having a funny conversation with you about southern belles–ha ha. Oh man. Well take care fellow Jane fans. Life is fragile. Love to the Riddleberger family.
