JANE MCCLENDON HUMBLE

Jane McClendon Humble, 82 of Calhoun passed on to a better place on Friday June 
6, 2014. Jane was born July 10th 1931 on a cotton plantation in Transylvania, LA 
to Wade and Victoria Bradford McClendon. Left to cherish many wonderful memories 
is her husband of 63 years Bill Humble; two sons, Jeff Humble of West Monroe and 
Jim Humble and wife Phyllis Humble of Asheville, NC; grandchildren Melinda Carol 
Humble of Calhoun, Rachel Jane Humble of Brooklyn, NY, and Thomas Reed Humble of 
Raleigh, NC. Surviving brothers and sisters-in-law include: Bitsy and Alex 
Vardeman, Bob and Ron Humble, and Syble Humble. Jane's many nieces and nephews 
include: Ann Hardwick, Frank Hardwick, Brian Hardwick, Vickie Baxter, Ellen 
Breed, Bill Haile, Carole Zesch, Marsha Kothman, Lee Wade Bodenhamer, Sheryl 
McGlathery, Barry Humble, Pat Banister, Dr. Lee Humble, Laura Culpepper, Larry 
Humble, Linda Bush, Tommy Humble, Amy Lawler, Robbie Vardeman, Beth Vardeman 
James, Mary Ellen Poole, Dr. Carol Poole, and Lyndon Poole. Jane was also close 
to her surviving cousins; Billy McClendon, Alma Ray Patrick, John D.McClendon, 
and LoraineDeLoach, as well as Jan Bradford, Ben Bradford and Zelma Randazzo. 
Also special to her was a weekly prayer group composed of very special friends.

Jane was preceded in death by sisters Mary Lee Bodenhamer, Fannie Lou Haile, 
Joanne Hardwick O'Neal, and brother Kelso McClendon. She was similarly preceded 
in death by sisters- in- law, Pauline McClendon, Betty Humble, Eleanor Poole, 
and Doris Humble, as well as brothers- in- law, Tom Humble, Jake Humble, and 
Oscar Poole.

Jane lost her mother at an early age contributing to her independent and self-
confident personality. She graduated from Calhoun High School and attended 
Louisiana Tech University and eventually becoming an avid fan of the Lady 
Techsters. After marrying the love of her life Bill, she spent the majority of 
her working career as an office manager at the LSU North Louisiana Experiment 
Station at Calhoun. Jane spent much of her free time, before and after 
retirement volunteering with various organizations including: the American 
Cancer Society, The Alzheimer's Society, and Ridgecrest Nursing Home. She 
survived a battle with breast cancer and became a mentor for other women facing 
similar circumstances. Much of her time was dedicated to her faith and church, 
Mt. Zion United Methodist Church formerly known as Calhoun United Methodist 
Church where she served as a role model for many young people - and where she 
also participated in choir, United Methodists Women, taught Sunday school, and 
was an MYF leader along with husband, Bill. Jane somehow found time to write 
articles as a community guest columnist for the Ouachita Citizen.

Jane enjoyed cooking, traveling and shopping but, mostly loved spending time 
entertaining friends and family members, and giving back to others. Her home and 
heart were open to many family and friends' gatherings over the years.

The family will receive friends and family at Mulhearn Funeral Home in West 
Monroe Monday June 9th from 6:00P.M.until 8:00P.M.

The funeral service is scheduled at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Calhoun 
on Tuesday June 10th at 11:00 A.M. with Rev. Rich Cogburn officiating. Burial 
will follow at Calhoun Cemetery on Hwy. 151.
