Jayne AULD Obituary
AULD,
Jayne Marie
(Age 65)
On the morning of July 25, 2016, Jayne passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home in Greenacres, Washington. Jayne was born December 3, 1950 in Spokane, Washington. She was the second of six children and first daughter born to William (Bill) and Dorothy Miller. Jayne grew up on a farm in North Spokane with her four brothers and younger sister; William (Diana), Joan (Gary), Timothy (Suzy), David, and John. When Jayne was 12 years old, her family moved to Missoula, Montana. After graduating from Sacred Heart High School in Missoula, Jayne attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. On December 19, 1970 Jayne married Shawn Auld and together they had two sons, Jonathan Patrick and Anthony "Tony" Carroll. Jayne and Shawn divorced in 1977, and Jayne soon settled in the Spokane Valley to raise her sons and start a career in the development of low-income housing in the Spokane area. Jayne met Douglas James Loomis playing softball, and in April of 1986 they were lovingly married until the day of her passing. Jayne was an extraordinary mother, wife, daughter and sister who reveled in spending time with her family and friends. She was adored by her five grandchildren, Amber, Sydney, Simon, Charley and Oliver. In 2014, Jayne retired as executive director of Spokane Housing Ventures, where she was instrumental in developing a non-profit organization that served the low-income housing needs of the Spokane community. Jayne's devotion and love for her family, friends and community was expressed daily in the compassion, kindness and respect she provided everyone she encountered. Jayne was an inspiration to those who loved and knew her. Jayne was preceded in death by her father, Bill, brother, David and sister-in-law, Lisa. She is survived by her husband of 30 years; two sons and their spouses Grace (Jonathan) and Darla (Tony); five grandchildren; her mother; and four siblings. A Memorial Service will be held for Jayne at 2pm, August 1st at Heritage Funeral Home in Spokane, Washington. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to consider making a donation to a local charity or non-profit organization.

To family members: Jayne is memorialized with Jayne Auld Manor, a 48-unit complex in NE Spokane WA. With the pandemic, I regret that we haven't yet been able to conduct the dedication of the community that we had planned but it turned out beautifully, it's full of families and it's thriving, as Jayne would have wished.

Jayne was a gem in our midst. We could not have asked for a more caring, compassionate and dedicated Executive Director to lead Spokane Housing Ventures from 1992-2014

When Jayne said to me: this is you and me, we are already family so, Friends are Angeles that lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. I told her she was my Angel, and she laughed!! I love you sweet girl. Xxoo

I knew Jayne only briefly while we attended Gonzaga University together, but got to know her well over the past 5 years. She was a kindred spirit and one of my closest friends. Jayne and Donna Agnew Henderson were coming to visit me in Utah in September, and I couldn't wait to show these wonderful women the magic of desert and red rock canyons. I offer my heartfelt sympathies to Jayne's family, Donna, and all who knew Jayne. With love, Barbra Rugloski Berry
