Jayme Beth Stuart

March 6, 2021 at Mt. Sinai South Nassau Hospital in Oceanside.

Jayme was the fourth of six children born to Seymour and

Gertrude Davis of Atlantic Beach, NY. She liked to call herself the

middle child in a family that had none! She spent the better part of

her full and memorable life in Hewlett where she raised her two

sons and lived with husband and dance partner Warren. Jayme

was a force in the printing business for three decades in

Manhattan until printing become all but obsolete in the age of

technology. She retired and dedicated her time to volunteering at

Mt. Sinai South Nassau, the same hospital in which she died -

and for the Nassau County Auxiliary Police as an officer serving

her hometown of Hewlett. When she met Warren she found and

embraced country western line dancing, a passion which, along

with reading and wintering in South Beach, FL, were lifelong.

Though she worked fervently as an active volunteer for the

community, it was family that held Jayme’s heart. Though not

physically close she never hesitated to reach out and lend a hand

- usually more. She was nurturing, compassionate, kind, attentive

and generous, never hesitating to help those she loved - giving

everything of herself and asking for nothing in return. Jayme

cared ardently for her brother Martin, who had Downs Syndrome,

becoming his guardian when their parents were both gone. She

was tough on the outside and let few see her own fragile softness

and vulnerabilities- leaving her to help others while

simultaneously shouldering her own needs and struggles in

silence. To those who knew her, she was a reliable and loyal

friend, mother and grandmother who was perfectly imperfect - and

wanted nothing more than to be loved and appreciated for her

efforts, even when they were humanly flawed.

Jayme’s greatest pride were her grandchildren who survive her -

Savannah, Jillian, Gabrielle, and Tyler - and sons Michael Davis

(Erin) of North Carolina and Robert Cohen (Linda) of Minnesota.

She is also survived by her loving husband Warren Stuart, brother

David Davis (Ruth), sisters Laurie Stone (Matthew) and Andrea

Ganguzza (Mark) and their children, step-son Robert Stuart

(Jean) and step-daughter Diane Stuart. She is pre-deceased by

her sister Lynne Diener and brother, Martin Davis and husband

Stanley Horowitz.

Jayme’s happy place was lounging on the beach or by a pool,

caressed by the sun, escaping to a new place inside the newest

best seller clutched in hand. That’s exactly where we imagine her

right now.
