Jane-Elyse Pryor, 77

Jane is dedicated to the refugee community in Kansas City and has been a beacon of hope for strangers in a new land. “She has formed deep and meaningful bonds with these families and is dedicated, kind, generous, and loving,” says her nominator. She has mentored families from the Central African Republic, Bosnia, Ethiopia, and Afghanistan. She also volunteers at KC Hospice, KC for Refugees, and the Hand of Welcome Refugee team at St. Andrew Christian Church. She regularly visits others who are in need of support for daily living, and she encourages others to become involved as well. Jane-Elyse worked at Hallmark Cards as an associate editorial director; at UMKC as a publications manager, and at WDAF-TV in Kansas City as a news writer.
