We had Known Jane for35 years and loved her just as long! Libby camped at Heart of the Hills for 10 years and Karen has lived close to the camp for 22 years and bumped into her all of the time. in fact we moved to Hunt because of our love of the love of the Texas Hill Country. Jane was so special and we loved her.

Jane, though I'm a bit older than you, I was a camper at Heart o' the Hills for several years under Kitty Magee as Director. I loved Heart o' the Hills ever since my first day there, came back every summer, even spent two sessions there. (I cried so much when my parents picked me up from one of the terms, my dad had to turn the car around and drop me off for a second term). Joy! You and I have spoken on the phone and emailed and you were as kind as could be, recalling some of your own camp days. I still miss mine every June (and in my head say to myself, "Time to pack for camp!"). Part of my heart, even at 77, still resides somewhere at Heart o' the Hills and always will. It changed my life. God bless you, Jane! You will be missed.

My condolences to Jane's Family.
My heart hurts. What a a wonderful light that was put out way too early. Jane was so full of knowledge and I know there was much more she could have shared. What a blessing it was to have known her.

Met Jane visiting Hill Country camps with other camp directors in '19. Was fortunate to spend a week with her and knew I met someone special. Jane is wonderful. My thoughts are with her family.

I was close with Jane ain elementary school. I thought of her as my girlfriend at 6 and 7 years. We watched Superman. Ran around with capes. I often thought about her over the years. It is so sad.
Jane, thank you for the friendship we had that has been part of my heart for all of my life.

Though we were on the Stewart side, Jane was already very gracious and kind to us the many times we interacted with us over the years . She was loved by many and was the Heart of HOH. We grieve with you and our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ragsdale family.

I was a camper with Jane at HOH, & those were some of the best times of my life. I was tickled to hear she went on to be the Director. I'm sure she made it the most amazing experience. I am holding her family up in prayer & hope they find comfort in the knowledge that she made HOH such a wondrous place. On of the songs we used to sing there was "Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley." I know when she left this earth, she was not alone.

My heart has been with you during this difficult time. I am proud to be an HOH alumni, just like my mother. We both attended from ages 10 to 16, and I can honestly say that this camp changed my life forever. Jane was such a strong and inspiring leader along the way. I sincerely hope to attend the memorial to honor her memory. I am holding your entire family in my thoughts and prayers, along with everyone who has been affected.
