Amy Jayn was born March 8, 1982 at St Luke's hospital in Sioux City, Iowa. She attended St Paul's Lutheran School, Hoover Middle and West High School graduating with honors. She was very active in concert band, jazz and serving as drum major in marching band. Amy played flute, French horn and piano. She participated in choir including small groups and madrigal. Subsequently, she attended Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri graduating cum Laude with degrees in theater arts and elementary education. Amy moved from Dakota Dunes to coastal Florida, living in Del Ray Beach and West Palm Beach Florida.
Recently her health was challenged by Scleroderma and complications of pneumonia. Hurricane evacuations and forced hospital closures led to Amy succumbing to endocarditis.
Amy Jayn cared deeply about disadvantaged animals which led to her looking after nine needy dogs over the years. Amy loved to be with children and during high school taught children's classes at Lamb Theater.
On June 27, 2014, Amy Jayn married Joseph Fleet in a lovely outdoor ceremony in Seven Springs, Pennsylvania and enjoyed a wonderful honeymoon in Spain. Amy's husband Joe had worked in the wealth management profession with Merrill Lynch. They were in the process of establishing their own private financial assistance firm when Amy's health took a turn for the worse.
Amy Jayn and her husband Joe attended Christ Fellowship Church and spent every evening reading the Bible together. She had a strong faith and we're confident she is in God's loving care.
Amy Jayn is survived by her husband Joe of West Palm Beach, FL, her parents Jane and Roger, her brother Aaron, his wife Amy Gwen, nephews Charlie and Jack, whom she adored, all of Dakota Dunes, many aunts, uncles and cousins.
