Jane Greene Peters, a writer, musician and television producer who lived for several years in Aydlett, N.C., died Wednesday at her home in Lake Hubert, Minn., after a seven-year illness. She was 52.
Peters was educated in California and North Carolina before attending Swiss schools and the Sorbonne in Paris. She graduated from the old Knapp High School in Currituck, where she was elected ``Miss Currituck'' in her senior year. When told that her illness was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the blood-manufacturing system, Peters began writing ``Jane's Journal'' for Minnesota newspapers and published a book called ``Guidebook of Hope'' to help other malignancy victims come to terms with their disease.
Peters is survived by a daughter, Elizabeth; her mother, Helen Greene Schwartz, of Lake Hubert; and her father, Mason Peters III of Elizabeth City, N.C. Surviving brothers and sisters include Phyllis Dowdy of Powells Point, N.C., Mason Peters IV, Michael Billington and Steven Peters of California, Donald Gregory Peters of Richmond, Va., Mary Donne Rowland of Atlanta and Valerie Thompson of Beaufort, S.C.
Funeral arrangements are being completed at Helverson and Johnson Funeral Home in Brainerd, Minn.
