Betty Jean Dalane

Betty Jean Dalane, 88, of Midlothian, Virginia, and formerly of Charlotte, North Carolina, entered the arms of her Lord and Savior on August 23, 2015. Through the love and care of hospice, she was able to do so from home surrounded by family. Jean was born in Pageland, South Carolina, on July 13, 1927, the daughter of Howard and Lona (Nicholson) Laney. A graduate of the Presbyterian Hospital nursing program in Charlotte, NC, she was commissioned as a Naval officer in 1955 and served at St. Alban’s Naval Hospital in Queen’s, New York, for over four years. It was during this time she met her late husband Kris. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in April of 2008 and he preceded her in death the following month on May 19. After her two sons were old enough she went back to work as a nurse in the Veterans Administration until her retirement in 1993. She was known to her family as a kind and gentle woman who was steadfast in her faith, encouraging her family through her word and deed to always follow Jesus. She enjoyed sewing and loved to make clothes for her daughter in law, whom she dearly loved, and also her grand daughters as they were growing up. She will be greatly missed, but her family takes comfort in knowing she is in Heaven with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jean is survived by her son Martin and daughter in law Laurie of Midlothian, Virginia, her son Paul of Dallas, Texas, thirteen grand children, and two great grand children. She is further survived by numerous other relatives and friends. Jean's family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for them. Graveside services will be held on Saturday, August 29, 2013. All are welcome to gather at Magnolia Memorial Gardens located on the grounds of Calvary Church, 5801 Pineville-Matthews Road, Charlotte. At 10:00 am, Mr. Michael Neddo will lead the service celebrating the life, love, and blessing of Jean and all present will have the opportunity to share their story of Jean. As Jean faithfully served her country in the United States Navy, members of our armed forces will also be present to render a final military tribute. After the services, Jean will be laid to her final place of earthly rest next to her husband, Kris. Please take a moment to share your memories, photos, and videos of Jean on her tribute wall on this memorial site. On behalf of Jean's family, thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and acts of kindness. All those done and those yet to be done are deeply appreciated.
