Born March 14, 1934, a native of Christian County, Kentucky, she was a daughter of the late R. H. McCown and the late Emma Powell McCown. She resided in Hopkinsville, Kentucky where she and her late husband made their home, she worked a dedicated and successful career, and was well loved by many people before failing health brought her to her daughter's home in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in 2013 when Varnville became her beloved home.

She participated actively in her community, having been a member of the Order of The Easter Star, the Hopkinsville Business and Professional Women's Club where she held board positions, and served on the board of the local AARP Chapter. Jane constantly stayed busy, even after retirement she continued to support her community and others. She loved to travel and she will always be remembered for the love she possessed for her family and friends.
