Jane Cone passed away peacefully on Monday, November 21, 2022, in Lubbock, Texas, at UMC Hospital, surrounded by her family.  Jane will be fondly remembered for her zeal for life and was a constant light to everyone she met.  She was always ready with a smile and never met a stranger.

Jane was born on June 13, 1947, in Lubbock, TX. She was the only child of Cecil and Grace (Emerson) Kelsey.  She married James Raymond Cone, Jr. 50 years ago on March 25, 1972, at First Baptist Church in Lubbock, TX.

Jane grew up in Lubbock, where she attended Lubbock High School.  She was a member of the cheerleading squad and active in many school spirit groups.  She then attended Texas Tech and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.  Jane moved to Austin and graduated from the University of Texas.  After graduation, Jane taught school in Dallas and then in Lubbock, where she met her husband.  She poured her heart into raising her boys and serving the community as a member of the Junior League.

Jane’s positive spirit will live on through everyone she touched.  The world is a better place for having her in it.

She is survived by her husband, Jim; sons, Jim Cone, III, and wife Kim, and Caleb Cone and wife Shawna; and grandchildren, James “Quatro” Cone, IV, Rix Cone, Mary Elizabeth Cone, Thomas Cone, and Grace Cone.

Jane and her family are grateful for the loving care she received from, among many others, her caregivers, the nurses and staff at the UMC Cancer Center and Hospital, and Dr. Fred Hardwicke.

The family will host a gathering of family and friends from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM on Sunday, November 27, 2022, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. A service to celebrate her life of 75 years is scheduled at 1:00 PM on Monday, November 28, 2022, at First Baptist Church, Lubbock, followed by a graveside service at Resthaven Memorial Park.  Please view the service broadcasting schedule and an area to share stories of Jane with her family here on this page.

In lieu of flowers, Jane’s family requests donations be made to the UMC Cancer Center at www.umchealthsystem.com in her memory.

Jane Kelsey Cone is a wonderful Christian lady, and I know many will miss her greatly. When I was a teenager in Lubbock, Jane invited me to an Evangelistic meeting at First Baptist Church Lubbock. Louis Palau was to be the guest speaker. I do not believe that anyone else could have talked me into going to that meeting except Jane. She was kind and persistent and loving. I was not ready to put my faith in Jesus Christ at that time. But God used Jane’s loving care to plant the seeds of His good news. Later in our lives Denise and I both believed Denise and I are eternally grateful to Jane. Sincerely, Mike

I am incredibly saddened to hear the news of Mrs. Cone’s passing. I had the absolute pleasure of getting to know Jane while I was working for her and will never forget the memories we have together. Her and Jim have made a lasting impact on me and I’m grateful for their support/guidance during and after my undergraduate studies at Texas Tech. I send my prayers, support, and love to you and your family during this challenging time.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Jim, Little Jim, Caleb, Shawna, Kim, and children, how we all will miss our special Jane. My friend since elementary school days through the marriages & births of our grandchildren was always ready for fun, thoughtful conversation and visits. In our hearts Bob and I are with you at this time of her passing. We love you, Rosie & Bob.
