Carmi

     Jane Shelow, 83, of Carmi, passed away on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, Indiana. Born on July 6, 1941, in Maunie, Illinois, she was the daughter of Roy and Mabel (Webb) McDaniel. She was a long time member of the New Beginnings Church of God. In October 1966, Jane married Reeder C. Shelow, who lovingly survives her. 

     Jane had a remarkable talent for needlework and created countless hand-stitched quilts, which she lovingly passed down to her daughters. Her creativity extended to sewing, crocheting, embroidering, and the delicate art of tatting. She also enjoyed time with her “bingo family” as an avid player, as well as playing rummy and Words with Friends with her loved ones.

     She and Reeder shared a passion for traveling, especially when it involved camping and fishing adventures. Jane also had a green thumb, tending to her garden and nurturing her cherished flowers. Above all, Jane treasured her family. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her loved ones, creating memories filled with warmth and laughter.

     Jane’s legacy of love, creativity, and devotion to her family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
