Jane Lingo Black
Of Milton, DE, passed away Monday, September 29, 2008, in her home.
Jane was born in Rehoboth, DE, daughter of the late John A. and Eva (Hazzard) Lingo. Her father, John, founded several prominent Rehoboth landmark businesses: including Atlantic Hotel, Lingo's Market and the Ice House. Mrs. Black graduated from High Point University with a degree in Home Economics. She taught in the Milton School District for many years and following her retirement, continued her love for teaching, as a substitute teacher at HOB Elementary. Even today, many of her former students continued to keep in touch with her, because of how she had touched and impacted their lives. Jane was a member of St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church in Milton, Rehoboth Historical Society and Milton Historical Society. She enjoyed attending theatre productions, playing Bridge and traveling - especially to St. Maarten in the Caribbean. Mrs. Black was active in the community and was a benefactor to several local community organizations and businesses.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Black was preceded in death by her husband, Martin L. Black, in 1989 and a son, Joseph L. "JL" Black, in 1994.
