Jayne was a lifelong resident of St. Marys, a graduate of St. Marys Area High School, Class of 1986, and was a former employee at Eastern Sintered Alloys.
On July 1, 1989, in Queen of the World Church, Jayne married Lee J. Schatz, who survives.

In addition to her father, she was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents: Ruth and James Fritz, Sr.; her maternal grandparents: Evelyn and Frank Francis; and her father-in-law, Walter Schatz.
Jayne was a fighter and battled declining health from Multiple Sclerosis with positivity and a spirit was admired by all that knew her. She had a great sense of humor, beautiful blue eyes, and a smile that lit up the room. She enjoyed a good yard sale and had an expertise finding quality jewelry. Music was important to Jayne and enjoyed watching music videos. She would take photographs of nature and loved her pets. Above all else, Jayne loved her family and cherished her time with them.
A private visitation and funeral service will be held at a future date.

In our time of deepest need the tenderness of God is a refuge like no other. He alone understands our sorrows and draws near in love to wipe away our tears
When my mother passed away, we found the resurrection hope very comforting.
