Jayne Anne Stoddart (nee Kooistra) passed away peacefully at Sakura House Hospice in Woodstock, Ontario after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Loving wife of 35 years to Scott Stoddart, cherished mother to Joshua (Jennifer) Stoddart of Palmerston and Jeffrey (Jessica) Stoddart of Woodstock. Devoted and doting grandmother to Ashton, Ainslie, Jillian, Jaxxon and Francis (Frankie). Dear daughter of Peter Kooistra and beloved sister of John (Sabrina) Kooistra and Julie Kooistra. Loving daughter-in-law to Wayne and Terry Stoddart, sister-in-law to Jeff (Bobbie) Stoddart and Shelby (Kirk) Denti. Dear aunt to Mickaela and Bonnie Baechler, Brooklyn Stoddart, Brody Denti, Aleigh Denti, Mara Cobb, Sophia Morales, Sawyer Denti, Tanner Denti and Kobe Bohn. Devoted special friend to Christine Fogden. Predeceased by mother Bonnie Kooistra, brother Jeff Kooistra and sister-in-law Sherka Dougherty.
Jayne was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and lived in BC as well before coming to Ontario…eventually settling with her family in Bolton when high school began. She and Joshua met Scott and they became a family in 1989, with Jeffrey arriving a year later. Jayne had a successful career in IS working for Confederation Life, IBM and Manulife Financial. Work afforded a chance to relocate from Bolton to Waterloo in 1996, where the boys grew up and formed a circle of friends who eventually became part of the family…Jayne was their second Mom and everyone was always welcome. Jayne loved the holidays…especially Halloween and Christmas. She always looked forward to spending time with friends and family and her loot bags became a legendary part of every event she hosted
Jayne’s true calling though, was being a grandmother…it started the second Ashton and Ainslie walked through her door and continued as Jillian, Jaxxon and Frankie arrived. She loved each one of them dearly…always making sure that they were taken care of and had everything they needed. Sleepovers at Grandma and Grandpa’s were always looked forward to, in addition to many memorable trips and family events. When she became ill, it was always the grandchildren who put a smile on her face and made her want to fight on.
Many thanks to Dr. Andrea Molckovsky, the wonderful nurses and staff at the Grand River Regional Cancer Centre who worked hard to treat Jayne even though the odds were against her. Thanks to Dr. Dried Jamal and the amazing nurses from South West Ontario Health at Home for taking care of Jayne and allowing her to stay comfortable at home as long as she could. Finally, thanks to the incredible staff at Sakura House Hospice in Woodstock…although Jayne was only there for a couple of days, they welcomed our family and made her as comfortable as possible during her final hours, always treating her with kindness, respect and dignity.
Jayne touched many lives with her strength, honesty and fierce devotion to her family and friends. She will be truly missed. Thanks to everyone who came to see her or sent messages of support and encouragement to brighten her days and keep a smile on her face as she fought this battle. She will live on in all of our hearts.
