| The Williams News, Williams, Arizona Tuesday, July 21, 2009 Helen Jayne, formerly of Parks, passed away on Monday, July 13, 2009, in Virginia Beach, Va., where she moved to be near her daughter due to the death of her husband Jerry. She hated to leave the forest and her many friends in Parks, Williams and Flagstaff. Helen was born in Berkeley, Calif. on Sept. 5, 1928. She was a fourth generation Californian. She lived most of her life in the Bay Area, until she and Jerry retired to Parks. With retirement from AT&T, Helen was able to enjoy what she wanted to do all her life, travel. She and Jerry traveled all around the United States in their fifth wheel, they went as far as Long Island, N.Y. to the state of Washington and numerous places in Canada and Mexico. She often showed off her collection of magnets from the many places they had been. One of her dreams was a cruise, which they took to Alaska for their 10th anniversary. Helen also enjoyed train travel, in the first 11 years they lived in Parks she went from Flagstaff to Virginia Beach, Va., nine times with stopovers in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Between trips she finally had all the time she wanted for reading novels, movies, outings with friends and a few crafts. Helen is survived by her children, Glenn Moseley (Cyndie), Rocklin, Calif. and Peggy Kraushaar (Wil) of Virginia Beach, Va.; five grandsons and one granddaughter; stepchildren, Linda Winters of Mariposa, Calif. and Richard Jayne of Cottonwood, Calif.; two step-grandchildren and two step great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Betty Diefenderfer (Fred) of Williams, Pat Coito of Upland, Calif. and Carol Voytenkoff of Melbourne, Australia; and cousins she was very fond of in Chicago. Helen was preceded in death by her beloved husband Jerry Jayne, her always much loved, eldest son Bruce Moseley, her infant Granddaughter Amanda Howard, infant great-grandson Patrick Moseley and sister Cathy Gilbert. At her request there will not be a wake. Graveside services will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, July 23, 2009, in the Williams Cemetery, where she will be buried alongside her husband, Jerry.
