Jane B. Sprouse

Jane B. Sprouse, 74, of Buckingham, passed away peacefully, Tuesday May 22, 2018, at her home surrounded by her family. Born on January 2, 1944, she was the daughter of the late Thomas W. Slaughter, Sr., and Cecil Slaughter of Charlottesville. She was also preceded in death by her husband, William C. "Pete" Sprouse, Sr., of Buckingham; and her brother, Ronald Slaughter. She leaves to cherish her memory, her son William D. "Bill" Berryman, II and his wife, Jane Berryman; her daughter Kelley B. Gentry; her step-son William C. "W.C." Sprouse, Jr., and his wife Betty; and her brother Thomas W. Slaughter, Jr. Jane will be forever remembered as a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother to countless family members and dear friends. Celebrating her life brings her family joy. They have been comforted with the outpouring of stories so many have shared. She touched so many lives and many called her "Momma Jane." She made any person that showed up on her doorstep feel like they were special and touched their lives deeply. Her sweet smile, welcoming spirit and her ability to let each person feel her love with words of encouragement and hugs will truly be missed. She gave graciously to her community and volunteered with the Buckingham Rescue Squad for many years. As her days came to a close, her granddaughters, Kelsie Taylor and Kalie Gentry provided the best care for their Nana. They said it so eloquently "She left us with the happiest memories and many lessons. God received an amazing angel today." A celebration of Jane's life will be held for her family and friends at 11 a.m. Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at Riverview Cemetery in Charlottesville, Va.
