Jane attended Holy Rosary school and the Franciscan Convent Schools for girls where she graduated. She then attended Syracuse University. On April 10, 1944, she married the love of her life, James Pigott.

She was responsible for the annual Syracuse March for Life, which continues to this day. She was instrumental in procuring the monument dedicated to the unborn at St. Francis of Assisi church in Bridgeport.

She was active in local politics working on many candidates' campaigns including former member of Congress Ann Marie Buerkle.
She will be remembered for her winning personality, Irish wit, and the deep love she had for Our Blessed Mother.
Jane was predeceased by her parents, Dr. Joseph and Evelyn (McConell) Dunnigan. her two brothers. Joseph and Thomas Richard (Dickie) Dunnigan, and her loving husband, James Pigott. She is survived by her daughter Penny (Ron) Mayer and several nieces and nephews.
