I just saw Jane's obituary. I am so sorry to hear she had such a struggle with her health. I taught with Jane at Ross Elem. and worked under her at Hall. She was always the professional with the best interests of the students being foremost in her thoughts and decisions. She touched so many lives with her positive, practical techniques. Please know she is still very respected and missed in Clear Creek ISD.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Jane was instrumental in helping me to make the decision to become a teacher. She truly motivated and inspired me to be the best I could be. In addition, she was a wonderful principal to two of my own children. Jane was a humble woman who loved the Lord and that was evident in all that she did. Peace to you and your family.
