Jane Nash

NASH JANE ELIZABETH NASH, beloved wife of John Nash and mother of Joseph Wannop passed away peacefully in Lethbridge on Sunday, August 18, 2013. Jane was born December 27, 1962 in High River, youngest daughter of Lawrence and Hazel Wannop of Nanton. She is survived by her husband, John; her son, Joseph; her brothers: Alan (Barbara), David (Lourdes) and Donald (Dawnetta) and sisters: Jo-Ann (Donald) Peach, Marie (Dennis) Mertz, Linda Sue Wannop, Carol (Chris) Avery, Patricia (Daniel) Reid, and Roberta (Chris) Norton, over 30 nieces and nephews, many other relatives and her dear friends. She was predeceased by her parents, her brother George, and an infant son, James. If you had to use one word to describe Jane it would be 'generosity'. Many of us have been on the receiving end of her baking, babysitting and the produce from her gardens. A corn bust at her home was an annual event for many years. If Jane ever met you, she counted you her friend. Jane's greatest desire was to be a wife and mother. When Joseph was born weighing just over 2 pounds, she thought that might be taken from her again, but he grew and thrived and became the joy of her life. When she met John and they were married in 2004, she felt all her dreams had finally come true. They had 9 wonderful years together. She will be missed. The Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, RAYMOND STAKE CENTRE, 2N 200 W, Raymond, AB, with Bishop Brian Freeze officiating. Friends may meet the family prior to the service only from 10:00 to 10:40 a.m. at the church. Interment to follow at the Nanton Cemetery at 3:00 p.m. Donations in Jane's honor may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Kidney Foundation of Canada, or to the Canadian Cancer Society. It was Jane's request, and due to severe allergies, a scent free service will be held and floral tributes are respectfully declined.
