Jane Price SISSON

SISSON, Jane Price, 61, of Richmond, went to be with the Lord on October 24, 2009, after an inspiring, faith-filled battle with cancer. Jane served her patients and their families many years as an R.N. in critical care, first in cardiac nursing and then in her final 25 years as a labor and delivery nurse at Henrico Doctors Hospital and Chippenham-Johnston Willis Medical Centers. Her calm demeanor, professional competence and gentle touch endeared "No Pain Jane" to her patients. She touched many lives as the Parish Nurse for St. Giles Presbyterian Church where she established many friendships. She will be missed dearly by her family, many friends, and co-workers. She is survived by her husband, Richard P. Sisson Jr.; her daughter, Emily H. Sisson; her stepson, Richard P. Sisson III and his wife, Wendy S. Sisson; grandson, Liam Morrison Sisson; as well as her mother, Adelyn Price; her sister, Robin Price; her twin brother, Frederick C. Price Jr.; and her niece, Rebecca Behrman; her mother in-law, Barbara M. Sisson; her brother-in-law, Byron M. Sisson; her loving aunts, Alice Goman, Lee Walsh and Shirley Silvick; and uncle, Raymond Silvick; as well as many cousins. Special thanks to Traci and Jim Anderson, Cathy Harbert, Karen Wild and lifelong friend, Frederick Wayne. A memorial service will be held at St. Giles Presbyterian Church, at 5200 Grove Avenue, on Tuesday, October 27, at 11 a.m. Donations may be made in Jane's name to Heifer International. Thank you to The Virginia Cancer Institute, R. Brian Mitchell, M.D. and Julie Calvert, R.N. and staff, and additional thanks to Lewis Stoneburner.
