Jaimie Lay Obituary

On February 1st, 2016, heaven received another angel. Born October 19, 1979, our beloved daughter and sister, Jaimie Elaine Lay, joined her Heavenly Father. She will be greatly missed by her family, and the many friends she had gathered throughout her life. She never met a stranger, and was always kind-hearted and generous to those in need; she was the type of person that once met was never forgotten. Jaimie left this Earth due to sudden complications from a long illness.

Jaimie had worked at YPG on some Special Projects, and then was a server at IHOP for several years until her illness prevented her from continuing work. She loved cooking, reading, movies and walking in the park. She also loved writing, especially poetry, and had an avid interest in anthropology and archeology.

Jaimie was preceded in death by her grandparents, David E. and Winnie Lee, and Troy D. and Baby Ruth Lay. She is survived by her parents, Linda R. Lee of Yuma, and Walter Dale Lay of Belize, brother Jason Waine Lay of Yuma, cousin Christopher David and Mary Lee of Yuma, fiancée John Edward LeBlanc of Yuma, and many extended Lay family members in Oklahoma. Jaimie also leaves behind her beloved Min Pins, Punkin, Tickle, Sassy, Pebbles, Jada and Cookie… she was always leader of the pack.

In accordance with her stated wishes, there will not be a typical funeral to mourn her, but rather a celebration of her life will take place on March 26, 2016 at the West Wetlands Park, Ramada 33, from 2pm to 6pm. Kammann Mortuary is handling cremation, also per her wishes.

Tomorrow will be a year since your memorial. When I was a child, a year was forever, but now, it still seems like yesterday we lost you. I think of you everyday, wishing I had done things differently for you. Hindsight is always 20/20. I miss you and love you my baby girl, you are forever in my heart and soul. I know we will meet again in due time. Love you.

One word to describe J-me is loyal. No matter what, once she called you family she had your back regardless. She leaves a permanent space in my heart in which only she could fill. She was a light on my darkest nights and I will always remember the impact she left on my life. Cheers lady!!

We spent a lot of special time together as families in Alpine. I remember Jaimie as a curious, happy little girl who loved animals. She will be missed, but memories will be with us forever. My deepest sympathies reach out to Linda, Dale, Jason and family. May God go with you in this time of need.
