A proud member of the Prairie Village Church of Christ, she embraced her faith with grace and kindness. Jane was an avid University of Louisville cardinals fan and loved attending football games with her husband. Jane’s artistic spirit shone brightly through her talents in sewing and crocheting, crafts she loved dearly. She poured her heart into creating beautiful works with her hands while also demonstrating incredible culinary skills, faithfully preparing a breakfast and dinner every evening by 5:00 p.m. Her home was always filled with the comforting aroma of her cooking, reflecting the care she had for her family.

A devoted mother and granny, Jane delighted in supporting her children and grandchildren, attending their games with unwavering enthusiasm. Her love for her grandchildren was boundless and unconditional, a constant source of comfort and joy. Jane’s welcoming nature extended beyond her family; she opened her heart and home to all, offering compassion and care that left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Above all, she cherished her husband, Jerry Shull, with whom she shared 72 wonderful years, always making sure he knew he was her first priority.
