Jane Jansen Green

She was born in Mobile, AL in 1924 to Vernol R. Jansen, a prominent Probate Court Judge, and Jane Bailey Jansen, a musician.

She attended Auburn University where she met her beloved husband of 43 years, the late Henry B. Green. She graduated from Oglethorpe University and began an illustrious career as an elementary school teacher. An active member of Peachtree Presbyterian Church for 64 years, Jane served as an elder and as President of Women of the Church, received the Life Membership Award, and taught Bible study to both young and old. She was a respected antique dealer and ASA certified appraiser for 30 years. She was a gracious hostess, an award winning cook, and always had a smile and a plan for the next trip. She was a member of the same bridge club for 50 years.

Jane is survived by her husband of 14 years, Stanley S. Jones, also originally of AL. Her son, Henry Green, Jr., predeceases her. Her daughter, Jansen G. McCreary (and husband John) and her son, F. Bailey Green, (and wife Bonna Wescoat) survive her. Five lucky grandchildren, Bailey Ford, Polly Watson, MD, Lucy Green, Hugh Green, and Abigail Green knew her generous love, and amazing support. Jane was also blessed with four great-grandchildren: Avanel and Blaise Ford, Henry and Walter Watson. Additionally, she leaves behind a sister, Hazel Manson, many nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.

The memorial service will be held on November 6, 2010 at 10:00 AM in the Kellett Chapel of Peachtree Presbyterian Church.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to Peachtree Presbyterian Church.
