Jane Hambrick

Jane Snow Hambrick passed away on March 3,2024 of natural causes surrounded by family and friends. Jane Snow was the long awaited first child of Robert Perry and Mabel Altman Snow. She was born on September 6, 1930 and was raised in Jacksonville, FL. Little Jane enjoyed a wonderful extended family on both sides of her family and her home was full of aunts, uncles, and cousins, not only on holidays but all times of the year. Jane loved music and loved to read. She enjoyed playing trombone in her high school band and also in the band at the University of Miami where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Business. This is also where she met her husband of 62 years, John William Hambrick. Jane and John moved to Hazlehurst, Ga right after they were married and also lived in Commerce, Dublin, Folkston and finally in Cassville where they lived the remainder of their lives. John and Jane loved to travel and were able to see most of the continental United States from their motorhome! Jane was active in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served in the Primary and Relief Society. She will forever be known to the choir from her home ward as "Brother Jane" because of her beautiful contralto voice that earned her a seat with the tenors! She received a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Georgia and taught at Montrose Elementary in Laurens County, Charlton County High School in Folkston, Cass I, Cass Middle and White Elementary in Bartow County. Jane will be remembered for her quick wit, her incredible singing voice, her creativity and to many of her students as a favorite teacher.

Jane is preceded in death by her parents, Robert Snow and Mabel Snow, her husband, John Hambrick and her son, John Hambrick Jr. (Johnny), and two grandchildren, Andrew John Pate and Christina Dianne Hambrick Dawkins.
