Jane Theresa Walker, 68, passed away Friday, August 23rd, 2019.

Jane was born in Mobile, Alabama to the late James B. Johnson and Velma Varnado Johnson. She was preceded in death by her sister Carolyn Johnson Miller.

After teaching for 30 years, Jane retired from the Peach County School System in 2004 where she was named teacher of the year for her efforts in starting The Future Problem Solvers of America and sponsoring BETA club. She was an active member of St. Juliana Catholic Church of Fort Valley, GA. Jane served in numerous clubs and service groups to include Byron Jaycees and The Peach County Hospital Auxiliary.

Jane was an indulging and nurturing grandmother to her seven grandchildren and a faithful servant of the Catholic Church.
