The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona, Sunday, August 16, 2015 Janice "Jaye" Gail Bartlett passed away the evening of Aug. 8, 2015. She was born to Dorothy Avis Clark Bolstridge and Basil Bolstridge on May 5, 1947, with her siblings Michael, Donny, Steve, Kathy, and Scott Bolstridge.

She is also survived by her three children, Ralph Vincent Bartlett, Carolynn Bartlett Wotman and Gary Dan Bartlett; her grandchildren, Lauren Michelle Cline, Triston Bartlett, Katala Bartlett, Jordan Bartlett and Jessica McElderry; and her great-grandchildren, Aiden and James Bartlett. After a lifelong dream of living in Alaska, Janice and Dan moved to Soldotna to forge a new life, where they lived for 18 years with their children. They moved and traveled extensively over the years before settling down in Prescott, Arizona, in 1994. Jaye loved life and lived her dreams. She was a very accomplished writer whose creativity truly shone through. There are not enough words to describe what an amazing person Jaye was. She was magnanimous. Her love, dreams, dedication to her family, and courage will live on in the very best part of each of us. She loved without condition or restraint. Jaye's heart, empathy, strength and love have always been unwavering and of great comfort to anyone who has met her. Janice had faith that dreams can come true no matter the odds, and truly believed in her family and those around her. She was an inspiration to many and a guiding light and love to a blessed few.
