Jane Huey Elmore, 84, of Daleville, passed away Wednesday, June 19, 2013. Our dear mother and grandmother was born July 24, 1928, in Troy, Tenn., where she grew up. Her parents were David Bright Huey Sr. and Edna Leeper Huey. She was the last surviving sibling, preceded by her four brothers, David Bright Huey Jr., James Albert, Paul and Harold. Jane was also preceded in death by her husband, Walter Alcorn Elmore; and her grandson, Riley Saper. She is survived by her three daughters and their families, daughter, Jamie West and husband, Kevin West, with her grandchildren, Michael John, Daniel and Jordan; daughter, Laura Elmore, with her granddaughter, Shelby; and daughter, Robin Spicer and her husband, Jon Spicer, with her grandchildren, Ryan and Shannon.
Although her greatest joy was being a mother and grandmother, Jane was an avid gardener and reader. If we couldn't find her in the garden, we could find her behind a book. She not only maintained her own showplace gardens, she spent time tending the gardens at Bonsack United Methodist Church from time to time. Her thumb was certainly green! She enjoyed a good political debate and spent many an hour learning about the world and politics by watching news TV. A graduate of the University of Tennessee, where she met her husband Walter, she obtained her degree and was a teacher for many years before becoming a stay-at-home mom to her three daughters. She was a big VOLS fan, particularly in football. She enjoyed music, mostly classical, and always looked forward to visiting the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra. She loved going to see plays as well, whether it be in New York with Walter or here in Roanoke with her daughters. The arts were important to her!
Jane spent her later years at The Glebe in Daleville, where they, along with Dr. Quasir Raza, gave her great care and attention. The family is grateful for their kindness.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, June 21, 2013, at Oakey's East Chapel. A funeral service will begin 11 a.m. Saturday June 22, 2013, in the Oakey's East Chapel with the Rev. Tim Tate of Bonsack United Methodist Church officiating. Burial will follow at Old Dominion Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to consider making a donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society National Office at www.lls.org or P.O. Box 4072, Pittsfield, MA 01202.
