Jane R. Hinterkopf

HINTERKOPF, JANE R., 85, of Miami Shores and Hollywood, FL, passed away on April 25, 2025. One of three children, she was born to Karl and Lucille Rehm on March 21, 1940.

Jane was raised in Miami, Florida, where she lived her entire life, graduating from Jackson High School. She cherished her time at her “mountain house” in Weaverville, NC, creating lasting memories there with family and friends.

Jane was a devoted member of the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church and an active participant in the Heidi Hewes Chapter of the Woman’s Cancer Association through the University of Miami, PEO, and the Spade and Trowel Garden Club. She played hand and foot canasta weekly with her card buddies and enjoyed family domino nights. A gifted Southern cook, Jane loved preparing beautiful luncheons and hosting elegant dinner parties. One of her proudest accomplishments was organizing the very first Holiday Walk for the Heidi Hewes Chapter in 1991—an annual event that continues to thrive thanks to the wonderful support it receives.

Jane is survived by her husband of 52 years, Ernest Hinterkopf of Hollywood, FL; daughter Joy M. McCurdy (Dan) of Hollywood, FL; sons Eric Masse (Jen) of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and Karl Hinterkopf of Weaverville, NC; grandchildren Emillia Hoffman (Paul), Timothy McCurdy (Jess), Tyler McCurdy (Mollie), Cara Jane McCurdy, Ashton Masse, and Logan Masse; and five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Judy R. Knight of Orlando, FL, and her brother Charles E. Rehm (Annette) of Merritt Island, FL.

She spent her final years in the exceptional care of Racquel Kelly and Jennifer Watson. The family is deeply grateful for their compassion and devotion.

Jane will be dearly missed by her family, who meant everything to her—and she to them— as well as by all who knew and loved her. She now rests peacefully in God’s arms, likely enjoying endless games of hand and foot canasta with the friends who passed before her. Until we meet again.

A celebration service honoring Jane will be held on Friday, June 13, 2025, at 12:30 PM at the McArthur Chapel, 601 NE 96th Street, Miami Shores, FL 33138 (located directly across the street from Miami Shores Presbyterian Church).

A light lunch will follow at the Miami Shores Country Club, 10000 Biscayne Blvd, Miami Shores, FL 33138.
