I worked with Jamie and when I started she was my friend from that minute on. We shared grandbabies being born. Rough family times and birthday cakes. She raised beautiful daughters and they were her pride and joy as all of her grandchildren are. I will miss you so much my friend thank you for showing me true friendship and love.

Erin MacKenzie from Webster on Jun. 10, 2025

Jamie was an amazing woman. She was kind and generous. And one of the most important people in my mom's life. I cherish the box of memories she had made for my mom, full of inside jokes only the 2 of them would understand.

Sending my thoughts to Jamie's loved ones.

"Perhaps they are not the stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

Jamie loved a good cup of coffee. I’ll miss those times sitting in the kitchen. We talked many times about her cancer journey. The courage she showed will live on. Jamie -you were like a sister to me and I’ll always keep you close.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jamie through my job at Labella where we quickly became friends and established a friendship I will treasure forever. Some of my best memories are laughing uncontrollably with Jamie. She will truly be missed. She adored Barry and her girls Kelly and Kara and all of her amazing grandchildren. Jamie had a tremendous strength. Love you lady and will miss our calls and texts.
