Jane was born on Church Street in Bath, South Carolina. She was a retired School Food Service Health Dietician for Aiken County Public Schools with 33 years of service. She was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Graniteville, South Carolina and cooked many meals over the years for her previous church, Bath United Methodist Church.
She had a heart full of love for children and found her greatest joy in spending time with her family. Her home was the heart of every holiday, where she lovingly prepared special dinners and brought everyone together under the old live oak tree-a tradition that became the soul of every celebration and birthday. She cherished visiting her husband's family in Hawaii and had a deep love for travel, always embracing new experiences with warmth and curiosity. Her legacy of love, tradition, and togetherness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 276, Graniteville, SC 29829.
