Jane Bailey Zavala

I've had at least 3 lives since 1964 - I've had the roles of wife, mom, grandmother (Nana).

I went through college as a Spanish major, only to change several years later to art and finally graduated in 1977 with a BA in Visual Art.

I've been a freelance graphic artist as well as for corporations. I've managed international and domestic corporate events/trade shows and created the branding for several corporations.

In 2003 I began my own agency, The Marketing Department, which provided full-service marketing. I closed it in 2009 after a major medical incident that made me want to enjoy life more and slow it down. It's so much less stressful, actually fun - and I'm still unwinding from my past hectic life.

I remarried in 2010 to a great guy. I have 7 fantastic grandchildren.

I've made good choices and bad through these years. My life is nothing like I thought it would be back at FKHS. But, as I look back, I don't think I'd change that much because it's taught me - stubborn as I am - life lessons I wouldn't have learned otherwise. God has blessed me and protected me.

I'm glad to be where I am today and looking forward to many more years of adventure! The latest was our move outside of Fredericksburg, TX. Enjoying listening to all the birds and watching hummingbirds and all their interactions!

I loved growing up in Coffeyville. I was so proud of our town and our schools. Looking back, it was a very innocent time for me. I can't imagine growing up elsewhere. Here are a few memories:
-Mrs. Ballard who taught me a love of travel along with Spanish
-A great education foundation
-Riding my bike all over town
-The drive-in movies
-Cruising town with stops at the A&W
-Marching in the Drum Corps
-FK Kalvalkade
-So much more
