Sorry to hear of your loss, Rarrick family. Especially thinking of my former student, Michael, at this time. I hope you're able to find peace. I think of you now and then and wish you the best.
Blessing to all the Rarrick's.

It was a privilege and honor to know Jayne. She had that ability to make you feel that you were the most important person in the room while you were with her. Gentleness and kindness emanated from her whenever she interacted with another person. Individuals such as this are rare. My life was better knowing Jayne and the world was a better place when she was with us.

I met Jayne at Jazzercise and was so happy she was joining the class. She had a smile that would light up the room. I am so sorry for your loss, we used to laugh (and complain) about raising children, but her face lit up when she talked about her children. My very deepest sympathy and prayers for your family. You know she’s shining from above

So sorry for your loss she was such a wonderful person even if I haven't seen her in years I think about her often she always had a smile and she encouraging words for whoever she seemed to meet. She's in heaven now so put your cares on Jesus and He will see you through

We are so sorry to hear of Jayne’s passing. I worked closely with Jayne and considered her a good friend. We enjoyed getting together with Jayne and Steve when we lived in Kansas.

Rita Jayne Jenson Rarrick was born on October 28, 1960 at Stormont Vail hospital in Topeka, KS. She passed away at Midland Care Hospice in Topeka, KS on January 28, 2024.
Jayne grew up on her parent’s farm 2 miles east of Denison, KS where she began a lifetime of participation in sports and survived at least one fall out of the barn.
Jayne graduated from Holton High School in 1978 and was a very proud graduate of Kansas State University in 1982. She was awarded the status of Certified Public Accountant in 1986. She served over 25 years with RadNet, Inc. as the Director of Financial Analysis and had many friendships that she valued greatly.
While enrolled as a scholarship athlete in 1979 at Central Christian College she met a fellow scholarship athlete, Steve Rarrick. A long courtship occurred and they were married on March 12, 1983. She is survived by their four children, Ashley, San Diego, CA, Kim, Las Vegas, NV, Michael, Hutchinson, KS and Emily, Topeka, KS. Other survivors include her brother, John Jenson (Deb), Leawood, KS, and three nephews, J. Alexander Jenson, Prairie Village, KS, Andrew Rieschick (Melinda), Topeka, KS, Justin Rieschick, Wichita, KS and dogs Chewy and Merlin of the home.
Jayne was preceded in death by husband Steve Rarrick, mother Rita Pierson Jenson, father John James Jenson, and sisters Jota Jenson and Jena Jenson Rieschick.
Jayne was an active member of the Topeka Bible Church that she appreciated greatly for nurturing her faith and the many friendships she developed there. Jayne was also an avid supporter of Kansas State University and a decades long season ticket holder of K-State Football. Jayne’s bible studies at Topeka Bible Church consistently revealed the relevance of scripture to current life, including the story of Moses and Bill Snyder who led K-State Football out of the wilderness to the promised land. Jayne’s competitive spirit remained through life making card and board games very enjoyable, particularly family cribbage games. One of her last acts on earth was a thorough trouncing of a nephew, who dared to claim being the family cribbage King.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 pm on Friday February 2, 2024 at Topeka Bible Church, in the Mulvane Building. Funeral Services will be held at 10 am on Saturday morning, February 3rd at Topeka Bible Church. Private family interment will be held in the Denison Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Topeka Bible Church, 1135 SW College, Topeka Ks 66604 or the Topeka Rescue Mission, 600 N Kansas Ave., Topeka Ks 66608.
