Jane T. Streich

remember! Jane was one of a kind, and filled all the roles and more that could

ever be part of a woman's life - devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother,

grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Also known as Ginny and GiGi, she

left us all too soon on the evening of November 14 after several days of gentle

hospice care. She was surrounded by "her girls" who helped make her transition

peaceful and comfortable. Her life-long faith in believing she would have a special

place for eternity, carried her away to those who were waiting for her.

Although Jane spent most of her young life in Houston, Sugar Land, Texas

became her home. She attended and graduated from Lamar high school where she

met the love of her life - William Alfred Streich Jr. Jane and Bill married after his

graduation from his beloved Texas A&M University. The Air Force then took

them to Idaho where they had their first child Beverly, followed by Susan

(husband Greg), Billy (partner Doug), and Steven. Houston was their first home

before settling permanently in Sugar Land.

As the family grew up on Alkire Lake, Jane began her many service projects for the

community. She served on the committee which formed the East Fort Bend

Human Needs Ministry. She was active in her church and sang in the choir. She

was a faithful attendee of Merry Ministries.

Along the way, she developed a love for tennis and played competively for many

years. Then travel came into their lives, and she also had time to return to one of

her interests – painting. Jane was an excellent and talented artist, as a walk

through her home would show.

But her lasting pride and interest rested in helping to raise her "babies" as she

called them. She leaves four granddaughters – Mandy (wife Kelsey), Lindsey, Katy,

and Megan (husband Shane), and one grandson Matthew (wife Briana): great

grandchildren are Ollie and Levi, Jett and Kamea, Kiyari, Camdyn and Caprice,

and another one on the way. Jane loved her children, her pets, her home, her

church, and her many friends. She loved life and lived it to the fullest. We thank

God for sharing Jane with us for 89 good years!
