Jane Rouse
A beautiful rose growing on a mountain top surrounded by wild flowers.
Where can one begin with such a caring loving woman? She was a friend to all those around, a mother to three, and most importantly a grandmother to many. She was there when needed and always had a smile on her face. Her biggest joys in life where her grandchildren. They were her world and her theirs. She loved the simple things in life. Taking walks with her dog, planting a flower, having lunch with her friends, talking on the phone with family. Mom loved to travel and see new places, always a fan of being outdoors. A trip to the zoo she was there, taking the grandchildren to lunch she was there. Birthdays and Christmas, she was there. She would not miss an event with her friends, children or grandchildren as she loved spending time with them all. She had strong morals and did her best to pass those on to her children and grandchildren. She was a strong woman that lived a full joyful life. She is now looking down upon her friends, children and grandchildren. Keeping watch over all of us and sending love just as she has always done. We love you mom you will be missed by many.

Sorry For Your Loss
Jesus Loves Me
I Am Special
We lived in different city’s for more than 50 years but no matter how long between visits or talks when we were together it was like we had not been apart. We would laugh and giggle and talk about kids and gardens and politics and animals. You are still with me Jane and always will be love you baby sister.
My Aunt Jane: My mom, Shirley, was the oldest, then Skip and Nancy. “Janie” was the youngest, just a little over 10 years older than me. She was born in St. Louis, Mo, where I saw her frequently. I remember one time playing in a kiddie pool at my grandma’s, and Aunt Jane joining us for a splash. When I was 7, we moved to California, and Jane visited us there, a flight attendant and child of the 60s with bleached blonde hair, cat glasses and some sort of wild pants. She was so cool! Years later, we lived in Denver together, when she was married to Uncle George. I still remember when Matt arrived. She was a great mother – I visited her frequently when she was taking care of Matt in the little house on Magnolia St. In later years, we didn’t see each other very often: She moved to California, and I married and moved around the world. But she will always have a bright spot in my heart, a beautiful person of smiles, love and happiness. My heart goes out to Matt and all of you in Virginia Beach, and Mary Ellen in California. I hope you too will remember the wonderful times. I know she loved you all very much.
MUCH MUCH love. Will miss my little sister so very much.
While Aunt Janie was so cool and hip (drove a light blue Volkswagen Beetle) I will always remember her voice in my head. It had a smooth and loving tone that embodied her beautiful spirit.
As such with life, she moved from St. Louis long ago but her warmth stayed.
My deepest condolences to her children, grandchildren, family and friends she cherished.
Simple
What is simple?
One could say many things
One could say a rose in full bloom is simple
One could say a bird streaking across the open sky is simple
One could even say watching a mother bear with its cubs is simple.
Walking along a path deep in a forest
Staring up at the night sky watching the stars go by
A love from mom to child and child to mom
Simple and elegant and oh so much love
One could not say simple is boring
One could not say simple is easy
One could not say simple is mundane
One could even not say simple is simple
Simple is beauty at its finest
Simple is the peace one finds
Simple is a mother who loves her children
Simple is just that… simple.
Simply put my love for mom will always be
Mom will always be that special simple in my life
Shining bright as a sun and moon above
Life goes on, but one never forgets
It is just that simple
