‘Jaydean Lee Parent
Aug 26, 1956 - November 10, 2024
Wife - Mother - Friend

Jaydean Parent was a wonderful, caring, generous soul who left too soon. She passed away peacefully Sunday, November 10, with her kitties on her lap, and her husband holding her hand.

Jaydean was born in Eureka, where she attended Lincoln, Winship and Eureka High. She always had a job, and started her career at the trophy store, working for enough to buy her 1965 Ford Mustang. Later she worked at Eureka Printing for Jerry Carter as a graphic artist, for Jody Lawlor and at North Coast Advertising for Jack Daly.

In 1984 Jaydean married Mike Parent. They enjoyed over 40 wonderful years together, buying and remodeling a house into a home,and had a son named Andrew. Andrew was Jaydean’s pride and joy, and they had a special bond. They loved each other very much.

She was the kindest person you could ever meet, a devoted cat mom to countless feline companions throughout her life. A loving wife and mother, she also had a green thumb and love for 1970s and 1980s rock music. She loved to bake with her son, and everyone waited at Christmas for her famous cranberry bread. She loved arts and crafts, old movies and films, and hangouts out with her family. Halloween was always her favorite holiday, decorating the house with fake spiderwebs and barfing pumpkins.

Jaydean was preceded in death by her parents Aldean Dilling, Tom Dilling, Richard Chain, her friend Dana and her loving pets. She is survived by her husband Mike, her son Andrew, her sister Noel and her husband Chris, their kids Jack, and Katie. Her all time favorite Aunt Judy and her husband John, and their kids, Becky, and Katie. Her friends, Lauren, Janeane, Marion, All her great facebook friends, and her loving pets. A special thanks to our wonderful neighbors Jen and Kenny, and Derick and Julia, Bob, Rendel and Tasha, Ron and Sarah, Jeff and Jyoce.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring amidst blooming flowers and singing birds, a fitting tribute to a life filled with beauty and love.

We will forever remember Jaydean’s warm smile, her generous spirit, and her unwavering love. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
