Jay Cole Love, born April 12, 1936, passed from this life on Sunday, February 15, 2015.
She was preceded in death by her parents, John Clinton Ard and Martha North Ard, and her only sibling, John N. Ard, III.
She is survived by her husband of 26 years, four children, one stepson, grandchildren, great-grandchildren; one niece, as well as several dear longtime friends.
She was born on Easter Sunday at the Visitation Monastery in Mobile. Her parents were undecided on a name, so the nuns at the monastery named her Daphne Easter, to which her parents added Jay Ellen. She grew up in Mobile, graduated from Murphy High School, and attended Johnson Bible College in Knoxville, Tennessee. When her children started school she discovered an interest in floral design which developed into a hobby she devoted a lot of time to for many years. She made beautiful wreaths and other hand-crafted items which she sold at craft shows around the area. Professionally, she spent many years as an employment counselor, and owned her own agency for a period of time. She loved to read, had a special affection for cats, and enjoyed bird and squirrel watching, but the real joy in her life came from her family.
Funeral service will be held Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Friendship Baptist Church, with the visitation from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Grand Bay Cemetery. Arrangements by Ascension Funerals & Cremations, 1016 Hillcrest Road, Mobile, AL.
