Jane Boyd Converse, 82, died of pneumonia in the hospital in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico on Saturday the 26th of December. Jane had lived in San Miguel, a picturesque haven for artists and expatriates in the hills of central Mexico for the last 30 years following the death of her husband, George Knox Converse in 1978. Jane and Knox Converse were prominent members of Albuquerque society in the 1950's until the demise of Converse Motor Company, the town's Chrysler dealership in 1960, when the Converses, Jane, Knox, and sons, Tres, Timothy, and Michael moved to Southern California eventually settling in Newport Beach. Sadly, Jane's oldest sons, Tres and Timothy preceded her in death. She is survived by her youngest son, Michael Converse, a current resident of La Verne, California; and five grandchildren, Alyson, Melissa, Steven, Andrew, and Hillary. A scattering of Jane's ashes in the Pacific, as was done for Knox, Tres, and Timothy, is planned in the coming weeks.
