Emeline Jane Pope Glass November 13, 1923 - May 9, 2020

Jane Glass was born in Marvell and lived there most of her life where she raised a sister and a daughter, spent countless hours with and influenced the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and touched the lives of more people than could even be recognized. She attended college in Monticello, AR and after her marriage to Gerald Glass, lived in Conway, AR and Fayetteville, AR while he attended college and Oxford, MS while he was in Pharmacy School at Ole Miss. Known to the community as Mrs. Jane, she will always be Ma'am to her family.

Ma'am was extremely active in community and church events. She was a member of the Marvell United Methodist Church for 85 years and served on numerous boards, both locally and at a district level. She taught Sunday School classes, for all ages, where she had a huge impact on many, both young and old.

She spent hours volunteering within her community. From teaching adult literacy classes to delivering Meals on Wheels with her grandchildren to time spent helping with the Marvell Food Pantry, she was a constant presence in Phillips County. Ma'am was a member of the Marvell Civic Club and was recognized as Citizen of the Year in 1998. A member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, she served as Secretary of the James Bate Chapter. She was also a very active member of the Tri-County Genealogy Society.

Many people remember her from the years spent running Anderson's Drug Store where she quietly managed all aspects of the store. An avid Razorback fan, her friends and family knew to not call or interrupt while the Razorbacks were on TV. Ma'am always gave the best advice, even if it was not what you wanted to hear. Her quiet dignity, beautiful smile and Southern charm cannot be replicated and will be missed by everyone that was touched by her gentle spirit.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, Gerald J. Glass and her sister DeVaney Pope Roberts. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Becky and Clark Hall; granddaughter, Kimberly Clement; grandson, Russell Hall; great-grandson, Mason Clement, and great-granddaughters, Tisha Hall and Harper Hall Clement, as well as her sister and brother-in-law, Larry and Barbara Pope Moeller. She is also survived by her nieces and nephews, whom she considered her grandchildren. Her family would like to recognize in appreciation the ladies who helped make her final years as peaceful as possible: Cotina Bennett, Revertis Gist, Mildred English and Jackie Martin.

Graveside service was Tuesday, May 12, at Eventide Cemetery in Marvell, with Rev. Kenny Lee officiating. Arrangements were provided by Roller Citizens Funeral Home in West Helena. Ma'am requested no flowers but asked that donations be made to the Marvell United Methodist Church, PO Box 660, Marvell, AR 72366 in her memory.
