Jayna Patricia Griffin, 29, of Ocean Springs, MS, passed away peacefully October 30, 2019, in the presence of family.
Jayna was known by all as tirelessly loving and undyingly devoted to all those she ever knew and loved, and none more than her beautiful children, Coleman (6) and Emma (4), whom Jayna cherished and adored every hour of every day, with their father and love-of-Jayna's-life, Colton Payne, by her side.
Jayna is also survived by her brother, Max Griffin (New Orleans, LA) and stepfather, Anthony Lott (Ocean Springs), uncles, Ray Stronsky (Ocean Springs) and Brian Stronsky (IL), cousins, Sarah Beth Wilson (Madison, MS), Brooke Ford (IL), and Cara Hester (IL), and Colton's mother and grandmother to the children, Rhoda Payne (Ocean Springs).
She is predeceased by her mother, Barbara Griffin and grandmother, Lida Jane Stronsky.
A memorial service will be held at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church on Friday, November 8 at 1 pm, preceded by a visitation for family and friends to begin at 12 pm.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers memorial donations be made for the benefit of the children to the "Emma Payne and Coleman Benefit" fund at Hancock-Whitney Bank or online at paypal.me/ColemanandEmma.
The Ocean Springs Chapel of Bradford O'Keefe Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
