Janol Lee Dalton 91, passed away on February 16, 2021 at Trinity Manor Nursing Home in Dodge City.

Janie was born June 7, 1929 in Garnett, Kansas, to Wayne & Zelma Shannon.  She grew up in Sedan, Kansas, where she met and married her high school sweetheart, Jack, in 1950.  Following their move to Jetmore and eventually Dodge City, they raised three children: Mary and husband Jim Shultz of Lawrence, KS; John Shane of Thornton, Colorado; and Ross and wife  Ellen of Atlanta, GA.  Jack and Jane were married for 63 years before his passing in 2013.

While her main life's work was always being her husband's and family's greatest supporter, Jane found time to be active in PTA, announce high school basketball games, and serve as a member of the USD 443 School &Dodge City Library boards.  She was a member of several philanthropic organizations such as PEO and Philomath and was active for more than 50 years in the Dodge City United Methodist Church.  She was awarded the Dodge City Chamber of Commerce's Athena service award in 1997.  As a breast cancer survivor, she helped found the Circle of Hope cancer support group that continues to serve the community.  She always enjoyed a round of golf, her bridge club groups and watching her beloved Kansas Jayhawks.

She was preceded in death by her husband, her brother Kenneth Shannon and in-laws Everett and Helen Call and one niece.  She is survived by her 3 children along with 6 grandchildren & 4 great grandchildren, sister-in-law, Marjorie Shannon and 5 nieces & nephews.
