Jane H. Thames

Jane was known for her vibrant personality, easy laugh and general sense of joy and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She, together with Marvin, particularly loved spending time and traveling with their kids and their families, including trips to Europe, National Parks, Alaska, historical sites and countless beach trips. Before that, she and Marvin were often taking road trips with their young children to various parts of the United States where, it can be reported, that a good time was always had by all.

Her husband of 74 years, Marvin, survives her. She is also survived by her daughter, Traci Brown of Atlanta and her husband Jeff; her son Todd, also of Dunwoody and his wife Lowry; grandchildren Eric Brown of Denver, CO, Melissa Brown of Atlanta, Elizabeth Thames Harrison of Virginia Beach and her husband Cory, and Christopher Thames, of Atlanta. She is also survived by her most recent family member, great granddaughter Charlotte Jane Harrison, daughter of Elizabeth and Cory. The family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing.

A private ceremony will be held at Arlington Memorial in Sandy Springs on Wednesday, May 7 at 2:00 p.m. Flowers and memorial gifts are welcome but not necessary. Those who wish to make a memorial contribution in Jane’s name are encouraged to do so to either Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org, or to American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.
