Jane Was loved by all who knew her. She had a kind heart and a strong spirit. She was rooted in her Christian faith and family values. She had a love for old church hymns and children, especially those with special needs. She loved to “go down home” and visit her cousins in Tennessee that she loved like sisters and brothers. Jane loved the mountains and flowers. She enjoyed gardening at her home. She would find great joy each year with seeing her rose bushes and dogwood tree bloom.
In addition to her husband Ardell, Jane is survived by her two devoted sons and loving daughter in law, Ronald Williamsen of Pasadena, MD and Edward and Cathy Williamsen of Severn, MD. She leaves behind five grandchildren, Vanessa (Douglas) Volker, Angela (Williamsen) Staidl, Ronald Williamsen Jr, Nicole Williamsen and Zachary Williamsen, as well as multiple great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Jane was a little lady who made a big impact on the lives of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed by all. A celebration of life will be planned in the future to honor her memory.
We give them back to you, O Lord, who first gave them to us; yet as you
did not lose them in the giving, so we do not lose them by their return. For
what is yours is ours also, if we belong to you. Love is undying, and life is
unending and the boundary of this mortal life is but a horizon, and a horizon
is nothing, save the limit of our sight. Lift us up, O God, that our sights
may see further. Cleanse our eyes, that we may see more clearly. And while you
prepare the place for this departed soul, prepare us also for that happy place,
that we may be with you, and with those we love, forever.
Please feel free to express your condolences on her tribute wall.
