Jayne was born December 8, 1924, in Huntington, IN, to the late Jacob and Marie (Skully) Young.
Jayne, "The Tiny Jewel of the Sonoran Desert" is the name given by her peers. Jayne calls herself a "Sandwich Child" having an older and a younger brother. Jayne was a city girl during the winter months, and a free-spirited tomboy during the summer, spending time at the family cottage on Crooked Lake. She fought rapids, swam like a fish, ran from snakes and kept up with her siblings, or should we say, they kept up with her.
