| Phyllis "Jane" Law age 60, of Glenville West Virginia, went home to be with her lord and Savior Jesus Christ, at 7:00 a.m. Sunday, March 28, 2010 at her residence surrounded by family after a courageous and valiant battle with an extended illness.
Born December 24, 1949 in Gilmer County, she was a daughter of the late Jesse Marks Sr. and Phyllis Frashure Marks of Glenville, whom survives.
Jane spent her childhood growing up on Lynch Run before moving to the Tanner area. She later would graduate from Glenville High School in 1967. She had several jobs, but most notably, working with Gilmer County Magistrate Carol Wolfe as a Magistrate Assistant for close to 27 years. She was a member of the Glenville Church of Christ, her local TOPS organization, she was a very honest and just woman that believed in advocating for victims rights.
Jane also loved to sing and was a great alto. She would often sing at the Folk Festival at the shape note singing class, and with her brother Jesse at the Tanner Alumni, and in a quartet at the Senior Citizens. She also would sing with her church at the local nursing home, and occasionally at funerals. She almost always wore a smile and she loved to laugh. When she laughed it was deep, hearty, and one could not help but laugh with her. She enjoyed spending time with family, shopping, traveling, watching funny movies, and relaxing.
On June 4, 1967 she was united in marriage to Jennings Law who survives at their Rt. 5 home. They spent over 42 wonderful years raising a family, enjoying life and being devoted to each other.
In addition to her husband and mother Jane is also survived by 2 daughters, Ginger Law of North Wilkesboro NC, Crystal Bennett and husband Jim of Adamsville WV; 4 grandchildren, whom she loved to visit and spend time with, Dustin, Erica, Lauren, and Liliana of NC; 2 brothers, Jesse Marks and wife Barbara of Linn, WV, Lynn Marks of Glenville WV; 1 sister, Iris McCartney and husband Junior of Walker WV; 3 sisters-in-law, Edra Smith of Parkersburg WV, Regina Poling of Jane Lew WV, and Audry Law of Glenville.
