She attended her freshman year of college at Flora McDonald in Red Springs North Carolina and was a Graduate of the University of North Carolina Women’s College in Greensboro North Carolina.

She was a proud and devoted wife and mother who adored her husband, loved and protected her children, and doted on her grandchildren.

Jane spent many years as a schoolteacher. She taught Home Economics and Special Education. Later in her career, she taught and assisted in the care of special needs adults.

Jane was a very early member of Windermere Presbyterian Church and was one of the first women ordained in the Presbytery as an Elder. She never wavered in her devotion to the church and God.
