Jane Sayles Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jane grew up in Grayling, spending much of her time at her parents' automobile dealership. She went on to work in car sales at several automobile dealerships throughout the state of Michigan. She also managed restaurants in the Lansing area, and worked in banquet management at several hotels and resorts in Northern Michigan. Jane was an excellent cook who enjoyed spending time with friends and family. She also loved the time she and Greg spent in Leland, where she enjoyed boating, paddle boarding, snow skiing, and the beauty of the outdoors.
After many years together, Jane married the love of her life, Gregory Sayles, on February 29, 2011, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He survives her. She is also survived by: her siblings, Ann (John) Pelachyk, Bill (Vickie) Hart, and Tim (Jan) Hart; her extended in-law family and several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Jane was preceded in death by her parents.
A celebration of Jane's life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Newaygo County Compassion Home.
Beacon Cremation & Funeral Service, Covell-Traverse City Chapel, is in charge of arrangements.
