We loved Janie so much! Always looked forward to sharing coffee with her in the mornings before she went to work. She was always willing to share her deep convictions and give good counsel when it was needed. How we will miss her.
It is a terrible thing to see such a loving sister leave this earth, but there is no doubt in mind where she is today. I've enjoyed many services with her, as well as her company traveling to services. So sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers for all of you.

Aunt Jane has "graduated" to her home on the other side! No more suffering, sorrow or pain! She's rejoicing with our loved ones who have gone on before. I have lots of great memories of her. Praying the Lord comforts you all during this time! We love you all!

Sorry for your loss. Jane was a beautiful Christian lady. We always enjoyed visiting with her. Prayers of comfort for all the family.
I haven’t seen Jane in years but I still have fond memories of Jane, Jess and Vicky visiting with with my family, Jim & Jean Ferguson. I was truly saddened to see that Jane had passed. What a true shame it is to see the GREAT generation that survived WWII and the Great Depression slowly being called to GOD. They take with them the willingness to give freely of their time and knowledge that I just haven’t seen in the millennial generation. I offer my condolences from the Ferguson family to the Cory family, God bless.
Jane was loved and appreciated by so many. As youngsters, we first knew and loved her as Aunt Jane and she continued to be an especially important part of our entire lives. Over the years, we often reminisced about times past and I always mentioned the joy she brought our family while decorating for the Christmas season. I cherished the bow and arrow she gave me for my 7th birthday…and recall her kind assistance to our family the morning of our father’s passing many years ago. I wish, as she asked, we could once again visit and “hug her neck” one more time. I know she looked forward to being with her Jesse and the LORD. Our sincere condolences to Vicky, Jim, Steph and your entire family. She will always be remembered and missed so very much.
I have nothing but wonderful memories of her. I'm so sorry for your loss but so very happy she has gained her Heavenly reward.
So sorry for the loss of your mother. She and your dad were wonderful. Remember the wedding gifts she made me. Back in the days all of city employees families were close and always helped each other. She was a woman of great faith.
