Mrs. Grinstead was born to John Corley and Ola McAuliffe Pound, on May 31, 1924 in Augusta, having made North Augusta her home for the past 54 years. She leaves behind a legacy of men, women and children whom she taught how to live, whether in the Sunday School Room, on the piano bench or by example in her everyday life.

She also often sang or played during funeral service. Throughout her life, Jane used her extraordinary voice to sing, beginning in her teens with her own live radio show called “The Jane and Alice Show,” featuring sacred duets with her friend Alice Adams.
