Mrs. Jane was a native of Pulaski County and a member of the Corinth Baptist Church. Mama, as she was known by her 3 children and granny Jane by the 9 grandkids and 21 great-grandkids, was full of wit, love, laughter and spunk! She loved to dance, play games on Facebook and spend time with her family. Her family was the most important thing in the world to her. She was looking forward to a new great-grandson to be born in September. Mama cherished weekends spent with her daughter Cheryl while Ronnie "grilled" her something to eat. She thought Ronnie was the perfect son in law and he knew how to make her smile!
She loved shopping with Lisa, going to visit Tink in the mountains and taking gambling trips with her sister, Betty. Everybody that knew her loved her and she was known to take in and love many of her childrens and grandchildrens friends as her own. She cherished her little companion, "Bella" that she left behind. Her mark and legacy will live on forever thru her girls.
