Washington Crossing, PA - J. Jayne Gumbs (nee Tomich), beloved wife of the late Albert E. Gumbs, passed peacefully into her eternal rest on June 8, 2019. Jayne was courageous and determined as she fought various health challenges in her later years. Jayne, daughter of the late John and Julia (Babidovich) Tomich, was predeceased in 2001 by her husband, Al, as well as brothers Paul, Timothy and Edward and sisters Dorothy, Margaret, Irene and Anne. She is survived by her sister, Helen and her devoted children Albert Jr. (Patricia) of Wilmington, NC, Rosemarie (Richard Hause) of Lindenhurst, NY, Christine (James Zemola) of Fairfield, CT, Gregory of Eugene, OR, Douglas (Allison) of Washington Crossing, PA and Jennifer (Richard Cobe) of Airmont, NY.
