A memorial service will be held at the Inn at Los Patios, 8700 Post Oak Ln., San Antonio, on Saturday, May 3, 2008, at 10 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that gifts be made to the First United Methodist Church, 1016 Sam Houston Ave., Huntsville, Texas, 77340, or to the charity of one’s choice. A memorial service at the First United Methodist Church in Huntsville is pending.

Jane loved life and beauty and will be missed by all who knew her.
