Jane's obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we acknowledge the passing of Jane Chamberlain on December 28, 2023. Born on January 15, 1944, to Elliott and Mildred Thomas, Jane lived a life marked by a pursuit of truth, a love for her family, and a generously giving spirit.
Jane was a woman of extraordinary intellect and kindness. She blossomed into her own in Wichita Falls, TX, where she graduated high school in 1961. This marked the beginning of her thirst for knowledge and the pursuit of wisdom. She went on to earn her Doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania in 1989, demonstrating a commitment to higher learning and the exploration of deep thoughts.
The year 1972 brought about a momentous occasion in Jane's life where she married John Chamberlain, the love of her life. Together, they built a life punctuated by moments of joy, laughter, and shared understanding. However, she was predeceased by her darling husband, John, and is survived by their beloved children, daughter Jaha Goins(Travis), and son Elliott Chamberlain Jr(Julie).
Jane was known for her adoration of cinema, with "The Color Purple" standing as her favorite movie. A devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys, she would also often reminisce about her favored vacation spot, the tropical paradise of Hawaii.
She was a caring soul, inspirational figure, and God-fearing woman. Jane held family close to her heart, especially her grandchildren, and believed in treating others as you would like to be treated. Her greatest accomplishments were the simple yet profound roles she held as a wife, mother, and grandmother. She was predeceased by her father, Elliott Thomas, her mother, Mildred Thomas, and her brother, Elliott Thomas Jr.
Jane's legacy is one that will forever be cherished in the hearts of those who knew her. She leaves behind family and friends that adored her and will miss her deeply. Her life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and the pursuit of wisdom. Rest in peace, Jane Chamberlain.
