In addition to being a loving wife and mother, Jane worked throughout her career as a flight attendant at American Airlines, a real estate agent and a guest services representative at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. In her free time she enjoyed many creative pursuits including art, photography, interior design, genealogy, cooking and writing eBooks.

She was a kind soul who brought love, laughter and joy to the hearts of all who had the pleasure to know her and work with her.

Jane was preceded in death by her parents Rayburn and Flake Buntin and her three brothers, Reed Buntin Sr., Joseph Buntin and Jerry Buntin.
