Deidre Jaynes (Kern)
August 13, 1947 — April 2, 2014
Deidre P. "Dee" Jaynes of Warsaw, Indiana passed away Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 4:30 AM in Bremen Health Care Center, Bremen, Indiana.
Dee was born August 13, 1947 in Los Angeles, California to William and Darlene (Sabatella) Kern. She was a 1965 graduate of Lakewood High School in Lakewood, California. On November 6, 1966 in Stanton, California, the man Dee knew and loved as her dad, Larre Schlarmann, gave her hand in marriage to Donald Jaynes - a marriage they would cherish for 47 years. In 1970 Dee and Don moved to Warsaw from Michigan.
Dee was employed by Zimmer from which she retired in 2002 as an organizer for corporate meetings. Prior to her Zimmer employment, Dee drove bus for Cardinal Center for 3 years, worked at Dalton Foundry in the accounting department for 5 years and was employed for 5 years by The Paper where she wrote various articles including "Know Your Neighbor." She also provided some photography work for The Paper.
Dee was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church where she enjoyed singing with its choir in earlier years. She also belonged to Tri Kappa. She was an avid reader who loved to write - especially poetry. She also enjoyed taking pictures. Dee had traveled to 49 of the 50 states - never getting to Delaware. Dee knew how to have fun which included taking the girls to Pike Lake when they were young. She and Don enjoyed traveling and camping together as well as the special trips they would take between Christmas and New Years. Dee loved and was loved by her husband, daughters, grandchildren and friends. She will be missed.
With love and memories to treasure, those who survive in addition to her husband, Donald, are 2 daughters and sons-in-law: Sherri and Jerry Parker of Garrett, Indiana and Wendy and Troy Campbell of Niles, Michigan; 6 grandchildren: Camron Parker, Breanna Parker, Taylor Campbell, Emma Riedley, Elizabeth Parker and Alec Campbell; 4 sisters and a brother-in-law: Judi Hinchee of Amarillo, Texas; Kathi Phillips, Las Vegas, Nevada; Sharre Schlarmann of Escondido, California; and Gretchen and Earl Bloom of Mira Loma, California; 3 brothers and 2 sisters-in-law: Larre and Janet Schlarmann of Poway, California, Dani and Analiza Schlarmann and Brandon Schlarmann of Big Bear Lake, California.
Dee was preceded in death by father: William Kern and her mom and dad, Darlene and Larre Schlarmann.
Family and friends will gather for a time of sharing in support of each other Saturday, April 5th from 1-3 PM at Titus Funeral Home, Warsaw. A service celebrating Dee's life will follow beginning at 3 PM with Pastor David Hummel of Trinity United Methodist Church officiating. Burial will take place in Oakwood Cemetery, Warsaw, at a later date.
The family has asked that gifts in Dee's memory be given to a charity of your choice or simple acts of kindness may be done for others in her memory.
The staff of Titus Funeral Home considers it a privilege to care for the family and friends of Dee Jaynes.
