Jaycie Rood Obituary
Jaycie Lorraine Rood was born on October 29, 2001 and passed on November 12, 2018. Even though she was taken from us at such a young age, she made a deep impact on all our lives and captured our hearts.
She was preceded in death by her grandfather James Meredith and her great-grandmother Lorraine Fincher. She is survived by her loving parents, Curtis and Jaimee Rood; her loving brothers, Clayton, Collin and Jack Rood; grandparents, James and Jean Slegus, Maral Meredith and John (Kathy) Rood; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
She loved boating, swimming, jet skiing, playing euchre, music, animals, family get-togethers and so much more. She was fearless and there is nothing that her brothers could do that she couldn't do or wouldn't try to do. She was generous with her love and thoughtful and respectful to all. She had a compassionate heart. She protected those who were bullied, she championed the underdog and was there with a helping hand when needed for anyone.
Her passing has left an emptiness in all of us that only her sweet smile, loving ways and kind heart can fill. That emptiness will remain until we meet her again. She loved giving gifts. It was her wish to be an organ donor. Now she is giving the ultimate gift of life for others.
A special thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at Aultman Hospital for their compassion and support during this difficult time and to all who prayed for her and kept our family in their thoughts and prayers.
Family will receive friends on Sunday, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Swigart-Easterling Funeral Home, 624 Cherry St. E.(Rt.93, Canal Fulton. Private Services and burial will be officiated by Shane Minne on Monday. for family members only. Jaycie will be laid to rest at Canal Fulton Cemetery. Swigart-Easterling, 330-854-2356 www.swigarteasterlingfuneralhome.com

I never knew Jaycie. I live within sight of the Canal Fulton cemetery and I walk with my dog there at least 5 times a week. I'm always impressed with the outpouring of love and care for Jaycie's final resting place. Today was cold and light snow was falling. As I walked past her site I noticed a small candle burning. It was beautiful. As always, I said a small prayer for her. She may be away, but her light continues to shine.

Dear Curtiss, Jaimee, Clayton, Collin & Jack,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We remember Jaycie from the days of Clayton and Shawn playing soccer together. She was so young and ran those bleachers like they were the flat ground! Full of life and smiles! No words can be express that will take your pain, just know that our prayers are with you all. From your description she sounds as though she grew into a loving, giving and caring young lady taken far too soon.

I didn't know Jaycie, but when I seen how young she was I felt compelled to write. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve the loss of your daughter. May God be with your family in this time of great sorrow. And as the days and weeks pass, and you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by God and the love and support of family and friends. (Psalms 94:19)

The last time I seen Jaycie was at least 8 years ago. I thought then she was one of the cutest little girl I had ever seen. I remember watching as she played with her cousins & friends with always a laugh or smile on her face. So much like her mother I thought looks and demeanor. So sorry for your loss. You all are in my prayers and heart with my sympathy. love to all !

To the Rood Family. Time lessens the pain of loss, but memories last forever. Your memories of her will sustain you through the dark days ahead. Her beautiful smile and sparkling eyes in her pictures are priceless and welcoming. She obviously was a special young person who made an impression on many people with her kindness and generosity. She will continue to make an impression on many people with her gifts for years to come. God bless you all.
