Jayne was a loving mother and devoted grandmother. She was a hard working woman who diligently provided for her children over the years tirelessly aiming to provide the best life possible for her girls. Jayne was a reliable worker that everyone knew they could depend on. This was evident in her 30+ years of service as a lunch lady and beloved Wayne Kroger cashier. She went on to climb the ladder of success within the Wayne Westland School district to become the head kitchen manager for Wayne Memorial High School. She officially retired in January from her multiple years of service to the community of Wayne.
Jayne enjoyed being with her family and friends more than anything. Jayne was an avid shopper with a knack for finding the best deals around. Most often buying things for others including those in need. She was very selfless always putting the needs of others above her own. Jayne was quick to listen and always offered the best advice when needed. She never offered more than needed and always led with her heart of gold.
Jayne enjoyed craft shows, snuggling with Chloe in her chair, being on the beach, concerts in the park, women's night out, Wayne car cruise, going to the movies, eating out, and showing up for her grand kids activities. These are some of the many things that brought Jayne joy.
Jayne will be deeply missed by all those who were blessed enough to know her.
