The daughter of Donald and Blanche (Parker) Thatcher, Jayne was born on December 29, 1930. She graduated from Newton High School in 1949. Jayne was a homemaker who had a love of family. She had a gift as a seamstress and made many clothes for her children and grandchildren. She loved knitting, painting china, and cooking as well. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren.

On June 30, 1951, she was united in marriage to Melburn L. "Melby" Clymer. They moved to California for two years and then on to Hawaii for two years, as Melby was stationed with the US Navy. While in Hawaii, she worked as a bank teller. Upon their return to Iowa to embark in farming, Jayne worked part time during the winter at the Maytag Dairy Farm. Jayne was featured in Wallace's Farming Magazine where she was recognized for her love of crafts and specifically lamp shades and candle sticks.

Those left to honor her memory include two sons, Mark (Deb) Clymer and John (Beth) Clymer; a sister, Pat Hybl, and a very special niece, Kim (Norb) Manwarren and her family.
