In addition to her parents, Jane was also preceded in death by her brother, Tom White and his wife Nancy; and three sisters, Shirley Jo Hicks, Sue McQueen and Sallie Deloach.

Jane had a way of making people feel loved and important, she was the absolute best at her job. Jane also was a very active member of Little Milligan Baptist Church. Her family was so very special to her and she loved spending every moment she could with them.
