I'm having trouble with the blog program acting "squirrely" so spacing is rather strange. (Click on any photo to enlarge it.)
Jane Pinson
August 7, 1943 – August 25, 2021
Jane’s voice still echoes, Her laughter still brings cheer,
Her knowledge still brings comfort, Her caring still brings hope,
Her life still inspires, Her light still shines,
And always will…
Jane was a nurse who worked in the ER in Arlington, VA. She was a nurse through and through and she helped many people with health issues. She was just one of those people you could always count on, in sickness and in health.
We clicked from the day we met, even though we didn't do everything together. We did have our routines: She rode with me on my golf cart to Craft Club and Women's Club. I rode with Gene and Jane to all the shows in Savanna Club. She sent me lot of meals "just because." I especially enjoyed her beans and cornbread!
When I was in Virginia this summer, I heard she was ill and I was very concerned. I'd never known Jane to be sick. With trips in and out of the hospital and rehab, things didn't seem to get much better. Then they discovered cancer, although they didn't know for sure where it originated. Then, when she tested positive for Covid-19, it was a shock. That was likely the factor that caused her death. She left this earth to join Jesus in heaven on August 25, 2019. Oh, how I miss her!

One of our first activities together was Golf Cart Caroling in Savanna Club. It turned cold that evening – in the 50s so we dressed warm. Gene drove my golf cart, his first experience driving one. Yes, they got one for themselves later.

Can you imagine turning 15 women loose with hammers and nails in a small craft room? The noise level was so high they could hear us in the lobby of the clubhouse but we were so busy that we hardly noticed. The birdhouses were cut out.... all we had to do was nail them together, paint, and decorate them. Right!!!! I haven't laughed that hard in ages and that was mostly at my own ineptitude. When Jane took hers home she was crushed because Gene told her it was pitiful!

This was our first New Year's together.

Gary Suter, MaryMay Angelil, Jane and Gene Pinson. Mary had a hip replacement on December 21st.
Jane happened to be in West Virginia so she came down to our wedding! In her typical helping, "shy" fashion, she appointed herself as the photographer and she did a good job.
