Jayne began her college education at Moravian College until she transferred to Muhlenberg College as one of the first females to matriculate. She graduated with a Bachelor's degree in English. At Muhlenberg, she made many lifelong friends, and most importantly, met the love of her life and husband of 56 years, the late Ronald Moxey. After graduating, Jayne and Ron moved to Norfolk, Virginia where Ron served in the Navy and Jayne began her teaching career. There they found one of their favorite places, Virginia Beach. Over the years, they returned frequently to vacation with their family. Jayne loved the beach, and she and Ron also made many trips to Bermuda and Cape May, two other happy places for them.
