Remembering Senior Trustee Janet Sims
The Austin College community lost a beloved friend and supporter in senior trustee Janet Guthrie Sims, who died September 24, 2016.
Janet served as a member of the Austin College Board of Trustees from 1989 until 2001 when she was elected to the Senior Board, remaining active until her death.
Janet taught history and English at Hillcrest High School in Dallas while her husband, Dr. Jerry Sims ’53, was in medical school. The couple moved to McKinney, Texas, in 1965.
The daughter of a minister, Janet found her true calling in church work. She was an active member of First Presbyterian Church of McKinney for more than 50 years, serving as an elder and involved in all phases of the work of the church. She also was active in ministries of Grace Presbytery and the Synod of the Sun, serving as moderator of Grace Presbytery in 1991.
Janet aspired to help others; her work as an Austin College trustee helped many students discover their potential.
