Jane Shaw Brooks passed into her eternal home on Sunday, July 30, 2023. Mrs. Brooks was born on April 1, 1943 in Columbia, South Carolina to the late Theodore Roosevelt Shaw and Alma Jones Shaw. Jane grew up in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida where she completed high school. After graduating from Mars Hill College with a Business Certificate, she began her career working at the South Carolina Insurance Department. She then went on to work at the Federal Land Bank for 14 years and finally retired in 2010 from Southern Mutual Church Insurance after 26 ½ years of service.
Jane was married to the late Michael Riley Brooks, the love of her life for almost 34 years. Her life was centered around her faith, which influenced all she did. She was a faithful member of Greenlawn Baptist Church where she served as a deacon, Sunday school teacher, children’s choir worker, and member of the church choir. Her beautiful voice was a gift from God which she used to further His glory. Jane was a devoted mother and grandmother and loved spending time with her family.
Mrs. Brooks’ family wishes to express their deep appreciation for the outstanding love and care shown to her by the staff at Ridgeway Manor and Lighthouse Hospice.
Jane was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and a brother, Theodore Roosevelt Shaw, Jr. She is survived by her son, Benjamin Michael Brooks and daughter, Elizabeth Brooks Sanders, her grandson Michael Brooks Sanders and granddaughter, Brittany Elizabeth Sanders, her sister Frances Ann Cormier, and many nieces and nephews and dearly loved friends.
