an example.

She was preceded in death by Handley Hayes Edlin, her beloved husband of

School, Vacation Bible School, directed Christmas Programs and was
involved in many other aspects of the ministry.

Jane was also preceded in death by her mother, Gladys Marie Nunn, her father,
Jessie Lively Nunn, her siblings, Henry Alex Nunn, Ira Lively "Butch" Nunn, and
Kathleen Marie Dudgeon.

She is survived by her daughters Dana Marie Edlin, Anita Burkett (Bobby), and
Kathy Armstrong (William), her grandchildren, Tony Keown, Toya Keown,
Matthew Cooper, Tara Puckett (Mike), Micah Dixon (Staci), and Jayne Kelli
Lively (Marcus), eleven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

Special thanks to Sanders Ridge Health Campus and Hosparus Health for
