She was a member of Eisleben Lutheran Church in Scott City, and served her church as youth director, choir director and Sunday school teacher.

She served on Scott City Transit System Board and directed the Scott City PTO Follies 10 years. She was recognized for her community service with a declaration that Feb. 13 to 19, 1983, was Jane Albrecht Appreciation Week.
