My most heartfelt sympathy for not only her family, those close to her and those who knew her, but to the community as a whole. What a great loss. She touched so many lives and made such an impact. What an inspiration and what a legacy.

IN TRIBUTE TO A SINGULAR SOUL
No photograph or epitaph or words could ere express
How much you meant to each of us, who were so richly blessed
To have you as our teacher, our mentor, or our friend.
Your legacy lives on through gifts of love that have no end.
Though we may not be able to see you every day,
Your presence is still felt here, in oh, so many ways.
You’ve left this world a better place than when you found it here,
And what you’ve given all of us, forever, we’ll hold dear.
You’re missed and loved so much, you know,
By many on this plane.
But know that you will never be forgotten,
LADY JANE.

Ms. Avery - I will always love you, I will miss you, and I am grateful to you for everything you taught me. Even when you were hard on me, I knew you loved me enough to expect more. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for teaching me, and leading me. Thank you for always coming to the Hill's house when I was home, and for bringing Clem with you on your visits. Thank you for everything. I am sending you love, always.

From my experience working with her, I can only say I wished I had done more. I volunteered at a summer acting camp. She was such a motivation for the youth she worked with. I saw their eyes light up and heard how they raised their voices and grew more expressive and confident. All because of her and her dedication. A unique, intelligent, and passionate individual is a legacy that will be challenging to match for us all. My sincerest condolences. Peace be with you.

My heart is so heavy with such sad news from home. I join the countless others whose lives she changed in remembering her talent, brilliance, kindness, her passion, her lessons, her laugh. Jane Avery changed my life and the lives of all who were blessed enough to know and love her.
She started me on my path when I was 10 years old- in a community production of Fiddler, ignited my passions and nurtured my interests throughout high school; my first director and drama teacher, she inspired a life long love of theatre and passion for the arts. She was the epitome of everything I continually strive to be. She is much of the reason I am who I am, doing what I'm doing- a drama and English teacher- for the last 20 years myself.
Rest in peace, Ms. Avery. Thank you for all you did for me, for all of your students, for my hometown. ..
"And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. ..."

Of her beloved Our Town Theatre, Jane noted in a magazine profile that "our mission is not to entertain. It's to think, feel and inspire." Her original plays, readings and life-long gift of teaching always nailed it. May she rest in peace.

My heart goes out to Mrs. Avery's family. She touched so many lives. She always knew how to lift ones spirits. My one memory from high school in drama class was doing the play Okie&Dokie. It was a blast to be in her class. Not only for the fun, memories, but she sure knew how to bring you out of your shell. Thank you for all you've done Mrs. Avery your memory will live on for years to come through past students.

Jane was one of the most caring people I have ever known. She would do anything for anyone, and would never ask for anything in return. The time I spent with her, and got to know her was a life altering event for me. She may be gone, but the legacy she left will never be forgotten. Shine on Jane, shine on! You will always and forever be in our hearts. I love you Ms. Avery!
