Jane Wallace Rushing

Our beloved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, Ya-Ya, and
friend went home peacefully to be with her Lord at her
home in the loving presence of her family on April 25, 2010. She was
born March 10, 1960 in Sonora, Texas, to George and
Martha Wallace. Jane is the fourth generation to be
born, raised, and reside in Sutton County. Jane
worked for the family ranch for seventeen years. She
became an ordained minister of the gospel of Christ in
2006. Her life’s passion and heart’s desire was to love
people and communicate God’s great merciful love.
She discipled countless people from all over; all
walks, all ages. Her greatest joy was ministering God’s
transforming power to other’s lives, to see Jesus
make all things new. Jane especially lived to serve
and be available to others. She was remarkably strong
in her two year battle with cancer. She gave of herself
even to the very last hour. Everyone who knew Jane
was touched by her life and her love. In every way her
life embodied the Biblical passage I Corinthians 13,
familiarly known as the “love” chapter. Jane was a
graduate of Sonora High School. She was a member
of Lighthouse Community Church and served there in
many capacities. She was very active in the Emmaus
community, prison ministry, and taught Bible studies.
Jane was preceded in death by her father and best
friend, George Dee Wallace. Jane is loved and
survived by her children, daughter and son-in-law
Heather and Cole Cearley of Sonora, Texas, daughter
Hillary Lawson of Lubbock, Texas, and sons, Hunter
Lawson and Straton Rushing of Sonora, Texas,
grandchild, Lynden Cearley, mother Martha Wallace,
and brothers and sisters-in-law, Joe and Ginger
Wallace of Hereford, Texas, David and Beth Wallace of
Sonora, Texas, and Drew and Lisa Wallace of San
Angelo, Texas and numerous nieces and nephews.
She is also survived by Trey Rushing, Ben and Lenora
Pool, Jack Lawson, and Don and Mary Lawson.
Pallbearers are Jim Gulley, Kyle Dover, Jody Luttrell ,
Mike Moore, Stanley James, Stanley Adams, Tony
Renfro, Seserio Lozano, Paul Stephens, Todd Munn,
