Jayne Shattuck (nee Larsen), age 66 of Lincoln Park, died on Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
Jayne was raised in Wayne, graduating from Wayne High School with the class of 1965. Always fun-loving, she wrote what she referred to as a "gossip bulletin" for the highschool paper, using the name "Zany Jayne." While still in highschool, she met Norman Shattuck and the couple was married on February 10, 1968 at Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne. They honeymooned in the Catskills and later settled in Lincoln Park where they raised their children and have lived ever since. Jayne and Norm celebrated 46 years of marriage this past winter.
Jayne's family was her priority and her greatest source of joy. She loved entertaining, organizing family softball games, barbecues, and pool parties in the summer. Her love shone in the details and every detail was perfect; she made it all appear effortless. Deeply sentimental, Jayne especially loved hosting birthdays and holidays. Everyone would gather at the house, which she had great fun decorating with her well-known flair and sense of style. A talented cook, she would lovingly prepare special dishes, insisting everyone have their favorite when it was time to celebrate and always happily taking requests. She maintained that there was room at her table for everyone. She particularly loved Christmas, baking batches of cookies from scratch, filling tin after tin to give away, wrapping gifts that looked almost too beautiful to open. She enjoyed crafting, and was a self-described "movie buff" who never tired of watching her favorites.
When the children were young, the family enjoyed vacationing in Ocean Beach, NJ; Norm and Jayne later bought a condo in Virginia Beach which they enjoyed with their family for nearly twenty years. Jayne loved to walk the length of the boardwalk, sometimes pushing along one of her beloved shih-tzus in a shaded stroller. The couple also took trips to Disney World, Bermuda and Italy. Jayne enjoyed Atlantic City and playing the slot machines where she had some great luck over the years. She loved eating out, enjoying good conversation and laughter over a meal.
Jayne was an executive secretary to a real estate developer in Wayne for twenty years. She enjoyed the legal aspects of real estate and was interested in the justice system as a whole. She liked to watch court room analyses and discussions on TV news programs, always happy to engage in lively debate.
In 2000, Jayne's faith journey brought her to Calvary Temple in Wayne where she became born again in her relationship with Jesus Christ. Although her health prevented her from attending services there in recent years, she had always loved worshipping at Cavalry, participating in Bible Study and making presentations on faith-based topics.
She often said her favorite role in life was being a mother to Ken and Karin. An active, involved mom, Jayne was a supportive presence at all her children's sporting events through their school years, a vocal cheerleader. She became active with the Lincoln Park PTA while Ken and Karin were in grade school; her vivacious personality easily lent itself to fundraising. Her children adored her, as did their friends who remember "Mrs. Shattuck" as always welcoming them into her home, happy to feed them, always smiling and upbeat.
Jayne was thrilled to become "Nana" with the birth of her granddaughter, Dana, in 2001. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, watching Disney movies while singing all of the songs, offering open arms for hugs, cradling the babies, all with the same extraordinary love and warmth that her children had always known. Jayne enjoyed an especially close and wonderful bond with her mother, Alice. She credited her mother for showing her how to love selflessly, and she adored her.
Norm and Jayne had many pets over the years and several shih-tzus. Jayne's most beloved pet was her black and white shih-tzu, Ninja, whom she lovingly referred to as "my boy." Ninja had been her faithful and loveable companion; years later, she still missed him terribly.
Her sharp wit and easy laugh will never be forgotten. Jayne's vibrant outlook on life, her magnetic personality blessed her with many wonderful and loving friends who will all miss her dearly. The light of her beautiful smile remains; it will continue to brighten the lives of those she loved.
Jayne is survived by her beloved husband Norman of Lincoln Park, two children; Karin Morris and her husband Darren of Lincoln Park, and Kenneth Shattuck and his wife Jamie of Rockaway, five grandchildren; Dana, Brooke and Sydney Morris of Lincoln Park, and James and Audrey Jayne Shattuck of Rockaway, one sister; Sonja Griffin of Chesapeake, VA, four brothers; Robert Larsen and his wife Sharon of Kansas, Jon Larsen of New York, George Larsen of North Carolina, and Lawrence (Larry) Larsen and his wife Laurel of New Jersey.
