Dorothy Jayne MAPES

Kris & Jim,
I loved your mom like my own. My fondest childhood memories are when she babysat my sister and me after school. Later she became a good friend and we had in common an interest in fine art. It's hard to express how comforting it was to renew my friendship with her when I moved back to River Park. I will always remember seeing her on her long walks through the neighborhood. I will miss her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

Dear Kris, Vicki and Aubrey
So very sorry to read the news about your mother passing. We wish peace and wonderful memories of your dear mother and grandmother. Bless you all and.your family. Sincerely David & Janice Nelson

although i knew jayne a very short time, her energetic & kind nature always shined through. i volunteered w/ her over the last year and half. i am deeply moved by her passing. my condolences to her family.

My deepest sympathy to the Mapes family. Mondays at the Discovery Shop are not the same without Jayne.

I have such fond memories of Jayne, Joe and her boys and fishing at the cabin and summer BBQs. My sincere condolences to the Mapes' family.

Jayne and I became friends in 1947 when we attended San Jose State. After graduating, we both sought employment in the Bay Area. I became Assistant Publicity Manager at KPIX/KSFO and when I resigned to become an independent producer for a local TV show, Jayne succeeded me, so we continued to work together. We married young men who were best friends and Jayne was my Maid of Honor. Our daughter is named for her. Our families were tied together for 69 years. I will miss her so much; life...
