Jane Cousins' Obituary
Jane Ann Usry CousinsJane Ann grew up in Lakewood in the 1950s – a gracious southern lady, a devoted mother, a loving friend and a child of God. For 47 years Jane was mother to Chris. She was constantly creating special ways for Chris to learn and even mastered sign language. They shared a love of Andrea Bocelli, The Three Tenors and Willie. It was Christmas all year at the Cousin’s house.Jane loved her friends and was loved by them. If she came to your house she had a flower, a Clementine or some chocolate. So generous, and she never forgot a birthday. Her favorite book was The Sweet Potato Queens’ Guide to Life. She’d read a passage of it and we’d all cackle out loud at that outrageous humor.Jane had the wisdom to empathize and understand people. She could see the best in everyone she met. Her church was a center of her life and she was devoted to helping others. She understood the job that God had given her. All of us have been blessed to have her in our lives.Jane Ann is survived by her brother Charles Richard Usry, her uncle George Sutter of Houston and her cousins Susan and Jeff Kunz, Sally and Joni Sutter and Sara and Les Shirey.In lieu of flowers the family asks that you send a donation to: Special Needs Ministry, Tolleson Activity Center, Highland Park United Methodist Church, 3300 Mockingbird Lane, Dallas, TX 75205Funeral arrangements for Ms. Jane Ann Cousins have been faithfully entrusted to Restland Funeral Home and Cemetery, which is located at 13005 Greenville Ave., at the intersection of Restland Road, Dallas, Texas 75243, and can be reached at (972) 238-7111.
