Jerry Donald Jayne, 75, of Parks, died Saturday, June 16, 2007.

Mr. Jayne was born Jan. 11, 1932, in Kansas City, Mo. After retiring early from Pacific Bell with 33 years of service, he and his wife Helen moved to Parks from Danville, Calif. He was active in starting up what was Parks/Bellemont Fire District and served on the board of directors for a number of years. He was a member of the Williams/Grand Canyon Masons, where he was a past master and for a number of years secretary/treasurer. He was in the process of restoring an old fire truck he had purchased so that it could be used by the masons for parades in Williams. He was also a past member of the Flagstaff Tractor Club, and he was a veteran of the U. S. Navy.

He had many interests and projects, including restoring his then-50-year-old tractor, building a garage bigger than his house and doing some work with his daughter on the Jayne family genealogy. He and his wife took many trips all over the United States, in and out of Canada and Mexico in their fifth wheel. A cruise took them to Alaska.

Mr. Jayne is survived by his wife Helen, with whom he would have celebrated 22 years of marriage on June 23; daughter Linda Winters of Mariposa, Calif.; son Richard Jayne of Cottonwood, Calif; two grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; stepdaughter Peggy Krausher (Wil) of Virginia Beach, Va.; stepsons Bruce Moseley of Sacramento, Calif., and Glenn Moseley (Cindie) of Roseville, Calif; seven stepgrandsons; one stepgranddaughter; sisters Betty Diefenderfer (Fred) of Williams, and Pat Coito, of Upland, Calif.; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Ruth Christy Jayne; twin boys William and Robert Jayne who died at the age of 14 months; his parents; and son-in-law Michael Winters.

A visitation will be tonight, 6 to 8, at Norvel Owens Mortuary, 914 E. Route 66 in Flagstaff. A funeral service will be Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., also at Norvel Owens Mortuary. Interment will be Wednesday, at 1 p.m., in Williams Cemetery, Williams.
