Jane E. Hull

Jane Elizabeth Hull, 87, of Muskogee, Oklahoma passed away Sunday, June 3, 2012. She was born December 28, 1924 in Bixby, Oklahoma to Samuel Roy Broom and Phoebe Whitaker Broom. Jane attended Lincoln High School in Lincoln, Arkansas graduating with the class of 1943. She later moved to Muskogee and began working for Corning Glass from which she retired in 1985. Most importantly though, was Jane’s lifelong passion of being a wonderful seamstress. This began when her mother taught her to sew and she started working in the seamstress area at Camp Gruber doing alterations for the soldiers. This skill continued throughout her life as she made clothing for hundreds if not thousands of ladies and children. She loved to see the expression of joy and happiness on the faces of her clients when they admired their new custom made clothing in her full length mirror. Her hands were continuously busy working, designing, and creating custom wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, Halloween costumes, cheerleading uniforms, crocheting baby blankets and throws, or mending someone’s favorite toy. She was also a master at altering men’s clothing to fit properly after their shape did not fit well into their bargains purchased at local shops. Her gift was never used for personal gain but for the joy and excitement to see the outcome after she labored over her sewing machine for hours to meet a specific deadline. Jane spent her life loving others and sharing her God-given talents to create beauty and life long memories for her family, friends, as well as those she barely knew. Her family and friends were blessed to share amazing dinners and desserts and benefit from the flowers and vegetables her garden produced. Her sweet smile and gentle loving spirit will always be an inspiration to us and live on in our memories - until we see her again. Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel and Phoebe Broom; sisters, Oleta Maples and Callie Mealer; brother, William Roy Broom; great granddaughter, Kali Hull. She is survived by her daughter, Marilyn Palmieri of Muskogee; son, Mike Hull and wife Chris of Hot Springs, Arkansas; step daughter, Saundra Reese of Portland, Oregon; step son, Ronnie Hull and wife Janice of Tulsa, Oklahoma; grandchildren, Amy Buckmaster and husband Mickey, Jimmy Hull and wife Mona, Billy Hull and wife Sharon, Ronnie Jay Hull and wife Tina, Steven Hull and David Hull; 12 great grandchildren; 2 great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews. Jane also cherished her extended family, the Gail Robertson Family, as well as many other close and loving friends.
