Celia Jane Roseman Little, 85, of Claremont passed away on Sunday, September 5, 2021 at Catawba Valley Medical Center.

She was born September 22, 1935 in Catawba County to the late Willie Roscoe Roseman and Fannie Elizabeth Roseman. Jane was a lifelong member of St. John's Lutheran Church in Conover, a wonderful Christian woman, dedicated to her church and church family. She served as a Sunday School teacher, sang in the choir, assisted with youth group and other various church activities. Jane loved Jesus and instilled that in all her children.

She was a devoted wife of 53 years to a wonderful husband, Clyde Little. Jane was an amazing mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and good friend to all. She has been such an inspiration to all who got to know her. We have all definitely been blessed by her. Jane loved her family unconditionally and enjoyed all her grandchildren to the fullest. She always had a smile on her face which will definitely be missed by all.

Before retirement, Jane worked in the hosiery industry and also was an amazing lunchroom cook in the Claremont School cafeteria where she could bake some awesome yeast rolls and sticky buns.

Jane was a member of the Clyde Little Family Bluegrass Gospel Band. She played the piano, organ, the up-right Dog House Bass Fiddle and clogged. Jane was also a phenomenal basketball player in her day for Oxford School where to this day her team's picture is still on display in the trophy cabinet at Oxford Elementary.

She loved to read her Bible, prayer books, do word search puzzles, watch game shows, ballgames, cooking and doing gardening. Jane loved to play card games such as Solitaire, Rummy and Rook with her best buddies that she loved dearly, Grace, Shelby and Doris and whoever else she could get to join in.
