Jane was a faithful member of Friendship Baptist Church in Belmont, NC.

Jane, affectionately called MiMi, was so proud of her children, their spouses and her grandchildren, who were true treasures in her life. Loving God's wonderful world of nature, Jane loved gardening, working in her yard and even cutting grass. She loved all animals; her dogs led a charmed life, and she also raised goats and chickens. Jane will be remembered for her infectious laughter, radiant smile, never meet a stranger personality, and most of all for her loving, giving spirit.
