passed away Tuesday March 8, 2022. She was born in Little Rock,
AR to the late Hardy Scott and Tina Morehart Lane. She was
preceded in death by her parents and her siblings; Hardy Scott Lane,
Harlan Lane, Jack Winston Lane, James Norman "Bo" Lane, Miriam

She was beloved mother to Paul Scott Jenkins

Abdelhalim (Mohamed) of Decatur, GA. She was Grandmother to
Sydney Blair Free (Corey) of Conway and Ahmed Paul Abdelhalim, of
Decatur GA. Great Grandmother to Hattie and Shepherd Free.
She was a godly woman her entire life, with
never-failing devotion and she was prepared to meet her Jesus.
She was a cherished member of Morning Star United Methodist Church
acting as choir director at times, attending Bible Study, Sunday School
and all Potlucks, where her famous Jalapeno Corn Casserole will go down
in history!
She and her husband were volunteers at The
Melting Pot Genealogical Society and loved researching their ancestors
and finding long, lost relatives (on Rick’s side.)
She had many talents. She was a singer
and dancer trained in Tap, Toe and Ballet. In her youth, she
sang on a Saturday morning radio show in Little Rock and performed on
the travelling Hayride Circuit. She was also a talented Baton Twirler
and won a Horace Heidt Talent Show in the 50’s. She taught
Baton Twirling for many years. She also devoted time to being Cub Scout,
Brownie, and 4-H leaders for her children and their classmates.
Rose was a beautiful, caring soul and drew
many people to her. She was a friend to many and even though
she only had three children of her own, there are many people in her
life who call her Mom!
She loved to travel, once taking a 3,600 mile
round trip vacation from Hot Springs to New Mexico on the back of her
husband’s motorcycle (in her 70’s!). She and her husband
also enjoyed travelling all over the U.S. in their camper to sightsee
and visit relatives.
