Armilda Jane Magee Loveless was born in Electra, to Myrtis Lowry Magee and Richard Bartlett Magee. Her mother and aunt were teachers in one-room schoolhouses in West Texas when they met their future husbands, early "wildcatters" in that area. The brothers-in-law formed a drilling business together, and Bart Magee built the Armilda Hotel in Electra, naming it after his daughter.
Jane to most, and Maggie to her oldest of friends, spent her childhood in Wichita Falls and graduated from Wichita Falls High School. She attended Southern Methodist University, where she was elected senior favorite and president of her sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta. During the Texas Centennial of 1936, she was crowned Queen Cotton and featured in the Dallas Morning News as the five millionth visitor to the State Fair of Texas. After graduation from SMU, Jane moved to Fort Worth and taught elementary school in the Fort Worth Independent School District. She married Roy Jefferson Loveless Jr. in Fort Worth, where they raised their four children and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 1991.
Jane was active in the Fort Worth community as a member of the Fort Worth Garden Club and the Mary Isham Keith Chapter of the Daughters of American Revolution, where she received the state award for Outstanding Good Citizen chairman. She was president of Canwick Club, was elected to the Board of Directors of the Woman's Club of Fort Worth and was past president of Beaux Arts and Etta Newby.
Jane was instrumental in establishing the Kappa Alpha Theta chapter on the Texas Christian University campus. She served as chapter adviser for many years and was twice elected alumnae president.
She was on the Board of Deacons at University Christian Church, having been a member for more than 50 years; she served on the Board of Women's Christian Fellowship, and most recently co-chaired the establishment of the Archives Room.
She will be remembered for her dedication and devotion to her family and friends, her enthusiasm and adventuresome and fun-loving spirit.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy J. Loveless Jr., and a son, Bart Loveless.
Survivors: Jim Loveless and his wife, Kitty, Marilyn Winfree and her husband, Chuck, Jeff Loveless and his wife, Anne; daughter-in-law, Jonna Stubbs and her husband, Ted; grandchildren, David, Stephen, Lon, Miles Bartlett, Michael Loveless, Matthew and Brandi Winfree; and great-grandchildren, Christina and Gray Loveless.
