For the past 30 years, Grace has been employed at the Eastern Star Nursing Home of Oriskany as the Director of Nutritional Services. Grace didn’t look at  Eqstern Star as a job, it was her second home. She said she felt she belonged there for the residents. On April 7, 1979 Grace was untied in marriage to Paul G. Jaynes, Sr. Family was everything to Grace. Caring for her husband children, grandchildren, or spending time with her siblings, gave her great joy and happiness.

Jaynes, Jr., Rome; five brothers and spouses, Anthony Ferrare, Rome, Steve and Elaine Ferrare, Rome, Joseph and Sue Ferrare, MD, Vincent Ferrare, Rome, and Michael Ferrare, Rome; six sisters and spouses, Marie Yaddow, Rome, Angela and Joe Geno, Cicero, Joni and Joe Cianfrano, Rome, Theresa Ferrare, Rome, Phyllis Kelly, Buffalo, and Mary and Don O’Neil, Verona.

The family would like to extend a very sincere thank you to all the medical personal who cared for her these past few months, especially the staff at the Eastern Star Home.
