Jane Rosalie Beall

Jane R. Beall, 83, of McPherson, KS passed away on February 1, 2025 in the company of her daughters in Hillsboro, KS.
Jane Rosalie (Williams) Beall, daughter of Forrest and Alta Williams, was born January 20, 1942 in Warrensburg, MO. She was raised on a farm near Concordia, MO. She attended Concordia, MO schools, and with her family, was part of the Zion Hill Methodist Church. She gave her life to Christ and was a participant in Youth for Christ. After high school graduation, Jane attended Asbury College in Wilmore, KY where she graduated in 1963 with a BA in sociology and psychology.
There she met her husband, Rev. Dallas Beall, and they were married July 20, 1963. He preceded her in death in 2014.
The young couple established their first home in Waldorf, MD. As the ministry continued, they lived in various homes in Maryland, Virginia and finally in Kansas. Jane supported her husband and took care of the home and their two daughters, Julie and Emily.
Jane also worked various jobs including Random House Publishing in MD, Rochester Corp in Virginia and in the district court in Salisbury, MD. She was a devoted Christian, wife, mother and friend. Jane loved truth and justice and leaned towards those topics in her vast reading. She loved keeping up with the news from around the world, as well as following politics. She usually had something planted each spring whether it was vegetables or flowers or both and loved to do her yard work while she was able. Anyone who has played a game with her knows of her competitive nature and love of winning, whether it was on the church volleyball team or in a game of Pitt. Her latest game was Code Names, in which she loved to challenge her grandchildren.
Jane is survived by her daughters; Julie Cox and her husband Ross, and Emily Mendez and her husband Roberto, all of McPherson; her seven grandchildren, Seth, Luke and Joseph Cox, Amber, Natalia, Tito and Hunter Mendez; one great-granddaughter, Addie Stiles; a brother, sisters-in-law, brothers-in law and numerous nieces and nephews.
