I was very sad to learn of Nana Jane’s passing. I was one of her step grandkids and am fond of the memories of Nana Jane and my Grandpa Art…my prayers to her children, remaining family and friends. May God’s peace surround you.
Belinda and Marty,
My heart is truly hurting. I saw Jane a couple years ago and we sat and talked about Selma for a very long time! I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I would have known about the passing of Jane before now. I am praying for your family.

It was a true pleasure to work with Minnie/Jane at Southwestern Bell. She was so professional, took pride in her work and always looked like she stepped out of a fashion magazine
I hope her family will find peace and comfort in warm memories.
I’m sorry for your great loss.
