Jane was born April 1, 1923, in Camden, S.C., to the late Lewis Lee Moore and Eva Johnson Moore. At the age of 6 her family moved to Lexington, N.C., where she grew up and graduated from Lexington High School. In 1940 Jane moved with her family to Greensboro where she entered Greensboro College. She graduated with honors and a degree in art in 1944. After graduation she was a flight attendant for American Airlines during World War II, residing in New York City. She married Howard B.

She was a member of the Greensboro Lecture League, Potpourri Study Club, Greensboro College Board of Visitors, and the Greensboro Symphony Guild.

Jane and Howard made many close friends before and during their marriage. After Howard's death she moved to Burlington and developed new relationships within the Twin Lakes Community. She had a wonderful gift of maintaining and nurturing those friendships throughout her lifetime. Among Jane's many fine attributes were her exceptional kindness, generosity and unselfishness toward her family, her friends, and those who benefitted from her volunteer work and her charity.
