Form the fall of 1946 until the spring of 1949, she worked in the office of More Company, Muncie, Indiana as Mr. Jones finished his B.S. Degree at Ball State University.

Mrs. Jones lived in the communities of Hoover, Peru, Muncie, Twelve Mile, Metea, Sweetser, Galveston, Converse, and Marion in addition to spending thirteen winters in Clearwater, Florida.

Jane was a wonderful cook and, according to her family, no one made better noodles or lemon meringue pie. She was an avid reader, loved gardening, sewing, and history. She enjoyed watching tennis, the NBA, and the Colts, but above everything else, was her love for her family and friends.
