Jane was a proud graduate of Chelsea High School, class of 1956. She made her start working for the Green Parrot Café, the Dairy King, and Super H Grocery Store. She dedicated her professional life to serving her community, as City Clerk at the City of Coweta, and at Rural Water District 5.

Jane was a longtime resident of Coweta, Oklahoma, where she attended the CrossPoint Baptist Church. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she found great joy in attending church services. Jane had a zest for life that was infectious. She loved listening to bluegrass music, camping, and playing Bunco. Above all, she cherished spending time with her family, creating memories that will be treasured forever.

In May 1956, Jane married Marvin Dale Harrell, and they were blessed with four children, Dala, Todd, Marla, and Jo. In 1995, she found love again and married Joe Todd. Jane's love for her family was boundless, and she was the heart and soul of many family gatherings.

Jane is survived by her four children, Dala Steelmon and husband Marvin of Coweta, Oklahoma, Todd Harrell of Coweta, Oklahoma, Marla Stephens and husband John of Coweta, Oklahoma, and Jo Sillyman and husband Jay of North Zulch, Texas. She was a proud grandmother to Dalynn Steelmon, Witni Sisco and husband JW, and Kane Sillyman, and a doting great-grandmother to Elliet Holmes, Evan Holmes, Braylen Sisco, Brazen Sisco, and Tinleigh Sisco.
