Obituary

Jane Mayer Obituary Jane Guinevere Mayer (nee Nelson) April 1, 1936 - July 2, 2025 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jane, age 89, on July 2, 2025. She had been in hospice care at Parks Place in Plymouth, Minnesota. Jane was born in Red Wing, Minnesota, and graduated from Hopkins High School. In 1956, she married the love of her life, David Mayer of Wayzata. Together, they built a life filled with love, family, and community. Jane loved being a homemaker and was known for her exceptional skills in sewing and needlepoint, and also enjoyed cooking and baking. She was accomplished at calligraphy and illustration and was always willing to teach her skills to those who were interested. She was also a dedicated mother who devoted much of her time supporting and encouraging her children as they grew up. David and her enjoyed dancing - other happy memories include the family trips to the cabin on Lake Washburn and to various parts of the U.S. over the years. Her guidance, wisdom, and love will forever remain a cherished part of their lives. Janes family and friends remember her for her kindness, generosity, and the quiet strength she brought to every situation. Her ability to nurture those around her, combined with her creativity and warmth, left a lasting impact on all who knew her. She had been an active member of Grace Lutheran Church in Deephaven when her children were younger and contributed her time to various church activities. Jane is survived by her beloved husband David, their three children (Susan, Scott and Jon,) six grandchildren, extended family, and friends who will forever hold her memory in their hearts. The family would like to extend their thanks and sincere appreciation for the compassionate care Jane received while living at Parks Place.
