Her career spanned over 23 years from kindergarten to 3rd grade, most recently teaching at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Longview for the past 5 years. She loved being a positive influence in their lives and was a wonderful teacher. Mrs. Tassin loved animals as well. She was passionate about her horses and dogs, but above all that, she loved her family. She was a loving wife and mother and loved taking care of her family by being the best homemaker and cook. Jane had a special talent for arranging flowers, a gift that she enjoyed sharing with family and friends by gifting her services for many weddings and special occasions. Mrs. Tassin also loved traveling with and spending time with her family, especially outdoors. Together they took many trips and enjoyed hiking, 4 wheeling, and just being together in God’s creation. She will be greatly missed.
