Jane Harrell Obituary, Death – August 5th, 2019 to August 16th, 2001 Respected God, Jane, the greatest gift, finest daughter, and most incredible sister that any of us could have ever imagined, is what you have bestowed upon us. Your generosity in utilizing Jane’s heartbreak to inspire and better us is commendable. For instance, her kindergarten idea to gather school supplies for those without; the Bible verse she placed anonymously in a middle school boy’s locker, which prevented him from committing suicide; and the tears that begged to her lips when she saw a homeless family by the side of the road or a baby bird plummet from its nest.
Jane’s declaration that “lacrosse is my thing but tennis is” was an act of bravery on your part. The sport assisted her in conquering apprehension, cultivating resilience, establishing a genuine friendship, and experiencing elation—all the more so when the ball descended into the upper corner for a goal. Although we cannot force our children to become the people we want them to be, Jane reminded us that we can encourage and love them as they are, which is the person You created them to be.
Thank you again for Jane’s forgiveness regarding the poor parenting advice she provided and for her astute decisions that have benefited Harrell and her three junior siblings, thereby simplifying the lives of everyone. We appreciate that Jane did not engage in girly activities such as shark fishing, feeding slugs beer while planting our spring garden, or wearing the same green jeans three days a week in fifth grade, which would have left us in astonishment and laughing at her self-assurance as Jane.
Appreciate the Carolina Panther football games featuring blue cotton candy and “LUKE” signs, as well as Jane’s steadfast “never give up” attitude toward all that you place in her path, including classmates, teammates, and the children that no one else seems to notice. Holidays and vacations were enjoyed with the assistance of cousins and a large family: “Camp Gigi” (Trawick “Buzzy” and Carol Stubbs), excursions to Atlantic Beach and Niagara Falls, and visits to New York City and Washington, D.C. accompanied by Gaga (Margaret and Paul Harrell). Appreciate your kin with outspoken dispositions:
Democrats, Republicans, techies, and hippies. Jane, in particular, inspires complete participation in cooking competitions, voting, and Easter egg hunts in July by looking beyond superficial characteristics.
