Jane enjoyed a good adventure. Born in Amarillo on March 13, 1924, she saw the depths of the Panhandle DustBowl with her mother Bertha, father William, and two brothers, William, Jr. and Robert. She and her brothers filled the house with music, crafts, and practical jokes. On a lark at 16, she took flying lessons. She had fond memories of jamming the throttle wide open at take-off when she soloed in a Piper Cub, the last step in earning a pilot's license that she never redeemed. There were other adventures calling.
With the advent of WWII, her father reenlisted in the Army and her family relocated to Dallas. She graduated from Highland Park High School and enrolled at Texas Tech College, completing a graphic art degree. There she met her future husband, Robert Lee Lindsey, a teacher in the engineering college.
She married Bob in 1946 upon his return from service in the Pacific, and they settled in Fort Worth. Jane always had a knack for finding beauty. Amidst the growing family and demands of the household, she always took time for art. She loved painting in both watercolor and oils. She sewed and knitted, and learned batiking and mosaics. She sculpted and was a devoted student of Evaline Sellers. After discovering photography, she mastered portraiture and landscape photography. Jane always cooked for the family and over time that too became an artistic outlet. She became a master bread baker and was an artisanal cook long before there was such a thing.
Jane and Bob built a house in the Tanglewood neighborhood of Fort Worth in 1957. That house fell to the service of endless science and art pursuits for the family, and Jane encouraged all her children's passions and interests. The freezer stored rats to feed pet snakes. A concert harp dominated the dining room. One bathroom served as a photographic darkroom. More than once, hamsters, gerbils, and snakes escaped captivity in the bedrooms and hallways.
Jane found the creek bottom hardwoods and bike trails perfect for brisk morning walks, and became known as the "Tanglewood Walker." The woods and meandering stream inspired her photography; the pristine creek became the location of fall watercolor painting expeditions that in turn fueled her children's love of science and nature.
Jane's adventures were planetary in scale. She painted the Oregon coast along Hwy 1 with her longtime friend Betty Fay. Jane saw the People's Republic of China in 1981. She drifted silently over herds of zebra and wildebeests in a hot air balloon in Africa with her aunt, Lesey Kinsel. In 2004, she visited Antarctica, because it was the only continent she had yet to see. Adventure renewed her love of family, friends, and home.
Jane cared tirelessly for others. She drove hundreds of miles for Meals On Wheels with Bob, donated gallons of blood to the Carter Blood Center, and volunteered thousands of hours to Trinity and St. John's Episcopal Churches and Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. For more than a decade she provided daily care for her mother, and later for her aunt, when they were no longer able to care for themselves. Jane and Bob's parties reliably brought family and friends together and she was never happier than at these moments.
Jane leaves a legacy of caring grace and a vision for how to leave every place a little better through humor, art, love, and life, and don't forget adventure.
She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and brothers.
Survivors: Daughters, Jane Ann Lindsey, Marylouise Lindsey, Beth Rudy and husband, Bob and Alice Peacock and husband, Mike; son, Robert "Chip" Lindsey, Jr. and wife, Mara Kaye; and grandchildren, Leah Markov-Lindsey and husband, Bradley Dumas, Bob Peacock and wife, Olivia, Rachel Matthews, Cooper Lindsey, Drew Lindsey and Wiley Lindsey.
