Jayne Ellen Rogers, a selfless, loving, and creative woman, passed away peacefully on September 22, 2023, in Plant City, Florida. She was born on October 27, 1952, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to parents Robert and Christine Hunner. Jayne was a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend who touched the lives of those around her with her undying love and unending kindness.
After completing her high schooling, Jayne decided to travel, where she eventually settled in Florida. Jayne had a deep love for animals, which led to her working at a pet store and becoming an accomplished aquarist. Her passion extended to both her professional and personal life, and she found great joy in tending to fish and aquariums at both her home and others homes. Jayne entered the profession of caring, becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). She dedicated many years to providing comfort and aid to those in need, displaying an innate empathy that earned her the respect and affection of both her colleagues and patients.
Her creativity was evident in her love for arts and crafts, sewing, and home decor. Jayne had a knack for making any space feel warm and inviting, and her home was always a hub of activity with family and friends. She also enjoyed cooking many delicious meals for both friends and family, as well as gardening. Yet, of all her interests, spending time with her family was what she cherished the most. Jayne's love for her family was profound and unwavering, and she was at her happiest when surrounded by her loved ones.
Jayne is survived by her devoted husband, Keith Rogers, and their son, Kristopher Rogers. She also leaves behind her siblings, Rob Hunner and his wife Pam, Eric Hunner and his wife Lynn, Sue Grant and her husband Rob, Vicky Harris and her husband Bud. Jayne was predeceased by her mother, Christine Hunner, her father, Robert Hunner, and her brother, David Hunner. She was a beacon of love and strength in her family, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved her.
Jayne lived her life with an open heart, always ready to lend a listening ear or offer a comforting word. Her selflessness was unmatched, she was invariably the first to offer assistance in times of need. Her loving nature extended beyond her family and friends, impacting many lives in the communities where she lived and worked. She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and generosity that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.
Remembering her creativity, one can almost see Jayne in her cherished garden with her beautiful orchids, or sitting at her sewing machine, lost in her latest project. Her love for the arts was not merely a hobby but a reflection of her vibrant spirit and her zest for life. She made the world a more beautiful place, not only through her art but through her kindness and love.
In summary, Jayne Ellen Rogers was a remarkable human being who lived her life wholeheartedly. She was a wonderful wife, a compassionate mother, a loyal sister, a dedicated care-taker, and a loving friend. Jayne's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her spirit lives on in the many lives she touched. Her memory will forever be a beacon of love, light, and creativity.
