With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jayne Anne Abbott (Nee Cummings) on December 29, 2024 at the age of 78 after a 4 year battle with cancer.
Jayne was born February 9, 1946 in North Bay, Ontario where she was raised with her 3 siblings. In 1969, she and her husband, Bob, moved to BC where they settled in Coquitlam and raised their children. Jayne loved knitting, colouring and gardening, but mostly loved when she became “Gam” to her grandchildren.
Jayne is predeceased by her parents Gerald and Gwen and by all three of her siblings Peter, Sally and Mary and by her husband of 59 years Bob. She is survived by her children Marnie(Ron) and James(Karoliina) as well as her grandchildren Brendan(Ashley), Jacob, Tyson and Keira(Milad). She is also survived by the spouses of her siblings, Dixie, Greg, Randy, many nieces and nephews in Ontario and their families. Jayne was loved very much and will be missed by her family and many friends.
The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers at McKenney Creek Hospice for their kindness and support.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date to be announced.

I remember Jane with such fondness. My parents Mike and Gail Johnston, were good friends with Bob and Jane and were always visiting with them growing up. When my mom passed suddenly when I was 19, I remember with a swollen heart, the compassion and care Jane showed. She stepped right in and cared for my broken heart in a way a mom would which I really really needed. Loved her vibrant, bright personality who had such a large heart! Condolences to you both Marni and James and their families, such a large loss to this world.

So sad to hear the passing of Jayne. So fortunate to have seen her in May with
Penny. Met Jayne and Bob years ago through our friends Penny and Michael when they lived in Vanderhoof. We three had such a great time together. Loved her sense of humour. My sincere condolences to her family. She will be remembered with great fondness.
