 Jane was born on September 7, 1928, in Cordele, Georgia to the late Silas and Minnie Beasley Dekle. She attended Valdosta State Women’s College before embarking on a life of purpose. Jane was a proud military wife and in 1954, she made Warner Robins her lifelong home. Jane was a devoted member of Central Baptist Church, where her faith in the Lord was the cornerstone of her life.
