Jane Steig (Parsons)
April 10, 1938 - January 5,2019
Residence: Austin, Texas
Jane Steig Parsons passed away peacefully by natural causes on January 5, 2019 with both of her children by her side. She will be remembered as a faithful, loving friend, mother, wife, daughter, grandmother, artist, life-long learner, pro civil rights activist, and supporter of diversity. Jane was a 1957 graduate of Palo Alto High School and went on to ultimately receive her Doctorate in Educational Psychology at Stanford University.
She found her passion in photography in the early 1970s and worked as a professional photographer under the name of Prints Charming Photography for many years. She was also passionate about creating art through both media and words. Her photographs, artwork, poetry, and vignettes have all been published and exhibited over several decades. She loved playing and listening to music and was a proud member of Sigma Alpha Iota.
Jane is survived by a daughter, Kali Parsons (David); son, Vince Parsons (Ann), and four grandchildren, Ben and Nic (Kali); Emma and Nathan (Vince).
