played bridge regularly with a group of friends she thoroughly enjoyed.

saysDear Bob and Katherine My deepest love and sympathy at your great loss. Your mother was one of the kindest and nicest people I knew.I had not seen her for a long time but I remember when I was younger she was a great help to me in my grief. I also loved teaching water ballet to Katherine. Sending you both my love and prayers in this very difficult time. Donna Barr

saysDear Kathryn and Bob, Bill and I are out of town or we would have been at Jane Ann’s visitation and service. I have many memories of Southern Junior with Jane Ann and her quirky sense of humor, and Cam and Kathryn too. Jane Ann and I tried to sing along with Bohemian Rhapsody early mornings, laughed so hard we couldn’t stand, then straightened up when students arrived. Jane Ann was a special person. Be kid to yourselves.
Sally Daugherty

I pray God will be by your side every step of the way... giving you the strength and courage to carry on and keeping you strong in faith🙏 Lean on Him in your time of need. Wish I could be there with your family today. I have so many fond memories of times spent with your family. God Bless and much love💕
