Former Morrison woman fatally injured in accident

Jane DeBeer

Jane DeBeer, 43, Scottsdale, AZ, formerly of Morrison and a 1979 graduate of Morrison High School was killed in a four-vehicle accident Monday morning in Scottsdale.

Jane had been in Morrison this weekend and had been inducted into the Morrison High School Hall of Fame.

An excerpt from the Hall of Fame program book stated: Jane DeBeer combined beauty and grace in representing MHS on the athletic field. Although girls’ sports were in infancy stages during the later 1970’s, Jane helped set a standard of excellence for the Filly teams to follow. Jane excelled in track. She helped the girl’s team win the only District Track Championship in MHS history in 1979.

Jane’s forte was the high jump. In 1978, Jane set the MHS and TRAC-8 high jump record at 5’4”.

Jane won several area Track meets in the high jump, in both 1978 and 1979. Jane would qualify for the State Championships. In 1978, Jane finished 5th at State in her specialty, the high jump. However, she failed to place at the 1979 State meet. Besides excelling in athletics, Jane was an outstanding student and class leader. Jane was elected homecoming Queen in 1979. Today, Jane lives in Arizona.

More details will be posted as they become available.

Cards and notes can be sent to Jane's parents at: Paul and Kathy DeBeer, 9530 Lindgren Ave., Sun City, AZ 85373
