Jane Olmon

January 25, 1937 - July 22, 2015

Jane Olmon lived a remarkable life and died peacefully June 22, 2015. She was born Elveta Jane Hinds on January 25, 1937 to Earnest and Hazel Hinds in Campo, Colorado. Raised on a farm, Jane understood the meaning of hard work, discipline, and dedication. These characteristics served her well throughout her life in her devotion to Christ and her family. As an adult, Jane moved to Denton, TX where she met and married Bobby Joe Olmon. They successfully combined families, served in the church and worked in the community. Later, Jane completed a lifelong desire to become a registered nurse. She graduated with her degree from Texas Woman's University. She pursued her nursing career at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Denton State School and finally Denton ISD, where she cared for a host of Denton's children. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Carl Hinds; sister, Virginia Hinds and son-in-law, Kenneth Woods. Those left to celebrate her life are husband, Bobby Joe Olmon; daughter, Lana Kay Woods and granddaughter, Kristin Woods; son, Vincent E. and wife Teena Jenkins, grandchildren, Crockett and wife Kara Jenkins, Hannah and husband Nathan Fontaine, Abigail Jenkins, Caitlin Jenkins, Caleb Jenkins and Elijah Jenkins; son, Robert Russell and wife Susie Olmon and their son, Stephen and wife Jennifer Olmon; great- grandchildren, Tessa, Josiah, and Haddon Jenkins. Jane is also survived by many nieces, nephews and friends. In keeping with her wishes, there will be a small graveside service and no visitation. In lieu of flowers, you may honor her lifelong commitment to missions by donating to the mission program at your local church or in memory of Jane's love of dogs to your local chapter of the SPCA or a no-kill shelter of your choice.
