Jane was an accomplished pianist who performed at many society events in the 1950s around Baton Rouge, including at the Governor’s Mansion. She went on to teach music in New Orleans and at other South Louisiana schools, as well as in Houston, Texas, where she and Kenneth ultimately resided and raised their children. She continued her love for music by teaching private piano lessons from her home for many decades.
