Janye enjoyed playing bridge, crafting, and going to the mountains. She was an active member of the Red Hat Society for many years. She always had a smile on her face, especially when she was around her grandchildren. Her grandchildren were her world. At Christmas, you could tell how loved her grandchildren were. She loved spoiling everyone with gifts. Janye loved all of her family. It was so important to her to reach out and check on everyone and keep everyone informed of what was going on.

Most days, you would find her at the Bridge House playing bridge with Neil and many other wonderful and very dear friends. She treasured and loved the friendships and fellowship with them.

When she wasn’t playing bridge, she was crafting with her daughter Krissa. They enjoyed making all kinds of cards and papercraft things to swap with other crafters around the US.

Janye loved telling stories of fishing and camping in the mountains. She would tell you that she can outcast most men with a fishing pole- she was good at it. She loved seeing her son Michael’s love of fishing and would always show everyone his fish. He always reeled in the biggest and most fish anytime anyone went fishing with him.

Janye loved her kids and grandkids so much. She always bragged on them to everyone and made sure accomplishments were known. She would sacrifice things and help all the time to make sure kids and grandkids had what they needed first before herself.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, Gary Mayfield.

She is survived by her children, Michael Mayfield and wife Lindi, Krissa Perryman and husband Bryan; and grandchildren, Eric Creek, Keeley Lopez and husband Joe, Kailyn Brown, Brylee Seymour and husband Braedon, and Kenzi Brown; and great-grandchildren, Sebastynn Seymour, Nova Lopez, Tre Xaysaleumsack, Brixlee Seymour, and Lyla Lopez.
