Huntsville - On November 14th, 2025, Jesus called Jane Virginia Finney home to be out of physical and mental pain after battling Parkinson's disease and other ailments for over 20 years. She was born July 13th, 1948, to Richard Christian and Jane Virginia Forshay in Dearborn, Michigan. Jane was the oldest of six children that they had. With Joanna, Richard and John left to celebrate her life.

On June 23rd, 1984, at the Elwood Baptist Church in Elwood, TX, she married Thomas Houston Finney. They were married for forty-one years when she went home. She passed because of complications of Parkinson's and other ailments.

Family left to celebrate her life is her husband and caregiver Thomas Finney, Son and daughter in law and caregivers John and Leah Finney, grandchildren's and significant others to include Great Grandchildren: Laurence Finney and Jessica Weiss Finney, David Finney and Nicole Mulka with Weston and Branston, Virginia Finney and Dorian Miller with Elijah, Eyston, and Ezyrn.

She graduated from the Joe G Davis School for Vocational Nursing in 1981 and was a nurse until 2008, when her ailments caused her to retire. She'll be remembered for her love of crafting and her puppy dogs. During the following roughly 15 years after retiring, her caregivers were mainly her husband Thomas, with Leah Finney and John all together doing their best.

Finally, in 2024, they were forced to get more help, and she went to Riverwood Nursing Home in Madisonville, Texas. The family would like a special thank you given to Traditions Home Health and Traditions Hospice care for all the care, love and support that they gave over so many years working together.
