Jane Manton Marshall

It is sad to think our world has lost Jane Marshall. Her music will stand as a testament to her life and talent. I certainly cannot imagine my life without "My Eternal King" and "He Comes to Us" as part of my internal soundtrack.

Jane Marshall's music has always inspired me. Her legacy is a mighty one, considering the thousands of church choirs and millions of choristers who have sung her music.

Jane was one of the most down to earth people I have ever met. When I was a choir member in a Presbyterian church she was a guest conductor at one of our Rehearsals when Dr. Travis Shelton was choir director. It was the most inspiring rehearsal of my life.

Mortar Board was proud to claim Jane as a member. Please know of our deep sympathy and most sincere regard for the way that she lived Mortar Board's Ideals of scholarship, leadership and service.

Thank you for this, Nancy. Mom often spoke about her days running around with your mom and her other cousins. And this picture is a treasure! Doesn't it make you wonder what Tom was thinking at that moment?
