Jane Ellen Baylog

Jane Ellen Baylog, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, has left a lasting legacy of love and creativity. Throughout her 82 years of life, she poured her heart into her passions and touched the lives of those around her in the most beautiful ways.

Jane's green thumb was legendary, and her backyard was a testament to her dedication as an avid gardener. She lovingly cultivated a cactus garden sanctuary, a picturesque haven that brought joy and tranquility to all who entered. Her devotion to nature and her ability to create beauty from the earth will forever be remembered.

Beyond her green thumb, Jane's nimble fingers wove threads of love and warmth through her knitting, crochet, and Swedish weaving. Countless blankets, quilts and other handcrafted treasures found their way into the homes of family and friends, each item a tangible representation of the care and affection she poured into her creations. Her handiwork will continue to provide comfort and solace, a gentle reminder of her enduring love.

 Jane also participated in skeet shooting, and was active in managing and coordinating shoots in the U.S. and Germany. She was also inducted into the Colorado skeet shooting hall of fame as a result of her dedication and hard work. Other interest included Golf, square dancing, bowling, macramé, boating and RVing. She was also an Air Force wife of 20 years traveling the world. Of all of her achievements her greatest joy was being a wife, mother and grandmother.

Jane's family was the anchor of her life. Her 64 years of marriage to her beloved husband, David Baylog, were filled with unwavering love and support. Together, they raised their children, Barbara Kisiel (William) and Brian Baylog, instilling in them the values of kindness, compassion, and resilience. Her grandchildren, Jacob Kisiel and David Baylog, brought immeasurable joy to her heart, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Surrounded by her family, Jane found solace and strength. Her sister, Marimarie Nardella, was her confidante and closest companion. Together, they weathered life's storms and celebrated its joys. Jane's parents, David and Betty Summers, and her brother Elmer Summers, preceded her in death, but their memory lives on through the love they shared as a family.

Jane leaves behind a vast network of nieces and nephews, each of whom she held dear to her heart. Her love and guidance will continue to resonate in their lives, reminding them of the remarkable woman she was.

As we bid farewell to Jane Ellen Baylog, let us remember her as a woman of boundless love, creativity, and devotion. Her legacy will forever bloom in the gardens she tended, warm our souls in the blankets she crafted, and live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. May her spirit find eternal peace, and may her memory forever be a source of inspiration and comfort to us all.

 Jane's ashes will be laid to rest in the Marana, Arizona National Cemetery. A private service will be held in the spring.
