Jane was a 1955 graduate of Biscoe High School. She attended Campbell College and received her B.A. in education from The Woman’s College (UNC-G). She spent her entire career teaching in the Biscoe and Star Elementary Schools, leaving a lasting impression with her wisdom, creativity, generosity, patience and love for each and every student.
 
She took great pride in her family, and treasured time spent with her brothers and sisters and their families. She spent her lifetime tirelessly and selflessly providing and caring for, encouraging and praising her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed gardening, canning, cooking, feeding and watching birds on her deck, Hallmark movies and playing Wordle. She was the family’s reigning champion of Scrabble. She sewed many of her daughters’ clothes when they were young, made quilts for each of her children and grandchildren and enjoyed scrapbooking in her later years to preserve a lifetime of family memories.
 
She was a member of Dover Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School, Kids for Christ, and sang in the choir for many years. She set a beautiful example of Christian love and service toward all.
