In August 1952 Jane was diagnosed with cystic endometrosis. Dr. C. Burns conducted an salpingo-opehorectormy at this time. Jane was continually bothered with tenderness and pain in her reproductive system, and had a partial hysterectomy at an early age which prevented her from having children.

She later completed a post-doctoral study in Psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University and New York University, New York City. She was the first in her family to obtain a university degree. She was associated with the leading researchers and educators in early child development. She taught from 1957 to 1976 in the Graduate School of Education, Department of Psychological Foundations, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. She co-authored in 1973 with dean Milton Schwebel "Piaget in the Classroom" that 30 years later is still in print. She was a pioneer in establishing Head Start in South Carolina. She taught at Rutgers Univeristy for over 25 years. After her retirement to Arizona, she continued to work at the Univeristy of Arizona and in the local school districts. One of Jane's favorite poems: Daughters We are daughters in a hand of generations etched in a mold of individuality. framed by mothers' grace repose mistakes laughter to do and be what she was not power to plan our own path Serenity to turn a stone on its side polished with insight the larger part. A ribbon to tie on the curl of our own a kiss to bless the new ones in ruffles. -Author Unknown Obiturary: Dr. Jane Beasley Raph, 83, passed away at home on September 4, 2000.
