Jayne Marie Malone

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Jayne Marie Bradford Malone announces her sudden and unexpected passing on November 10, 2024. Born on January 19, 1962, to Gladys and Joseph Bradford, Jayne grew up in Melrose, Massachusetts, before graduating from Plymouth High School and later attending Mount Ida College.
From a young age, Jayne's creative spirit shone through in her whimsical clay sculptures and intricate drawings, which delighted her parents and siblings. Her artistic talents brought joy to those around her, reflecting her unique perspective and boundless imagination.
A lifelong lover of horses, Jayne formed a special bond with her beloved pinto pony, Apache, a relationship she cherished and often shared with her children. She passed on her love for animals and the lessons she learned from caring for them, making sure those stories lived on.
In the kitchen, Jayne's passion for cooking was another way she expressed her love and creativity. She took great pride in perfecting family meals, and watching her family enjoy her cooking brought her immense joy.
Above all, Jayne's greatest pride and love were her children-Nichole, Hailey, and Dylan. She poured her heart into them in the ways she could, and her love for them was immense. Jayne also cherished her first granddaughter, Poppy Conley, and although they never met, Poppy will always carry a piece of her Nana's love. Jayne was grateful for the love and support of Hailey's husband, Brian Conley, and Dylan's wife, Kat Malone-Harling.
Jayne was a beloved sister to Janice Reardon (and her husband, Bill), Joseph Bradford Jr., and Judith Foye. She was an aunt to Ian Reardon, Lori Malkasian, Joseph Bradford III, and the late nieces Tatum Bradford, Kellie Foye, and late nephew Eric Foye. She was also a cherished sister-in-law to the late Terry Bradford, wife of Joseph. Jayne leaves behind her great-niece, Layla Bradford, daughter of Tatum Bradford, her great-nephews, Chance, Tanner and Rayne Malkasian, sons of Lori Malkasian, and Sidney Foye Bradford, son of Kellie Foye.
Throughout her life, Jayne faced significant struggles with addiction, but she found strength and healing in the supportive sober community on Cape Cod. That community became a place of hope and connection, for which her family will always be grateful.
Jayne's journey was marked by both struggles and moments of beauty. She gave what she could, and to those who loved her, that was more than enough. Her family will remember Jayne for her warmth, creativity, humor, and the love she shared. May she now find peace, free from the struggles she carried through her life.
A short viewing will be held at Cartmell-Davis Life Celebration Funeral Home, 619 State Road, Plymouth (Manomet), on Saturday, November 23, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
