She retired from the Newport News Public Schools, where she worked in the library. She lived in Newport News all her life and loved the city very much; she was a "Typhoon" all the way! She discovered the sport of tennis in her 40's and played faithfully until her late 70's. The other activities she enjoyed were sleigh riding in the Mariner's Museum, ice skating on Brown's lake, and riding waves at Sandbridge on her boogie board. There will be a memorial service to celebrate Jane's life on Wednesday, July 3rd 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at Peninsula Funeral Home. The family will receive friends at her home immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked to please make memorial contributions to Trinity United Methodist Church, 228 29th Street, Newport News, VA 23607.
Peninsula Funeral Home is in
charge of arrangements. View and post
condolences on our online guestbook at

I worked with Jane Newell
at Dozier Intermediate School when it opened in 1974. She was a
wonderful and witty woman and we had many a laugh together! My
condolences to her family. I know she will be missed!
To the family of Mrs.
Newell,
I am a member of Trinity Church and have moved away from the area. My childhood was spent going to Trinity Church. My father was Roberts Johnson. Mrs. Newell was always a fun lady to talk with and her stories were enjoyable. May you find peace knowing she is up in heaven looking out for the rest of us. Rest in peace, Mrs. Newell.

I loved your Grandmama's
beautiful spirit, Lauren and Ashley. Her wit was unmatched! I am
praying for the strength of the family during this difficult time.
May God be with you. Love always.

A wonderful neighbor and
friend to all. A true blue Methodist woman. She will be missed and
her memory cherished.
~ Rev. and Mrs. John LeGault, Newport News, Virginia
Nancy, I am sorry to hear
of your loss. I hope that knowing she lived a long life surrounded
by loving family and friends helps you during this time. You've had
great losses in your life but remember those wonderful memories.
Thinking of you and your family.
~ Darcy Pepe Center, Newport News, Virginia
Nancy - You and Kenny and
all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Many blessings...
love, Barbara
~ Barbara E. Tyner
Nancy, sorry about your
mom. I've missed seeing her out on the tennis courts and walking in
the neighborhood. She was always in good spirits and loved being
outside.
I knew Jane as Charlie's
wife and "Mickie's" mom through the Mariners' Museum. She was a
gracious southern lady with a great sense of humor whom I will
remember fondly.
~ Gayle Donovan, Suffolk, Virginia

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Words by Walter C. Smith, 1876
Music (St. Denio) by John Roberts, 1839
Immortal, invisible, God only
wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great Name we praise.
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might;
Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love.
To all, life Thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish—but naught changeth Thee.
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
But of all Thy rich graces this grace, Lord, impart
Take the veil from our faces, the vile from our heart.
All laud we would render; O help us to see
’Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee,
And so let Thy glory, Almighty, impart,
Through Christ in His story, Thy Christ to the heart.
