MARY ELLEN JAYNE
Casper, Wyo.
Mary Ellen Jayne, 66, of Casper, Wyo., formerly of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, passed away Sept. 14, 2021, with family by her side. She was born to William and Irene Robinson, July 6, 1955, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She married the late David Jayne in 1983, and lived together in Cedar Rapids for much of their 34 years of marriage.
Mary is survived by her daughter, Ginny (Rusty) Nading of Casper, Wyo.; grandchildren, Madilynne and Hunter Nading of Casper, Wyo.; brothers, Bill (Deb) Robinson of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Mike Robinson (Chris Ask) of Marion, Iowa; and sisters, Diana (Tom) Macke of Abilene, Texas, Sandie (Gerry) Chapman and Cindy (Dave) Wroblewski, both of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, and their children and grand- and great-grand fur babies.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents and loving husband in 2017.
Mary's greatest joy was family and living her best life. She blessed many with her generosity of handmade gifts, radiant smile, and boisterous laughter. She was excited to begin her new life in Casper, Wyo., with her daughter and family when she moved to Wyoming, Aug. 20, 2021. Mary will be deeply missed as she touched so many wherever she went.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Sept. 25, on Casper Mountain where Mary will be reunited with Dave once again, a luncheon to follow. Memorials may be directed to Ginny Nading, 1815 S. Jefferson St. Casper, WY 82601.
