Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
Jayne Ellen Molnar was born on June 4, 1957 in Newark, Ohio where she was promptly adopted by John and Janice Pease Molnar. She had a very indulged childhood. With ponies, cowboy paraphernalia, cars and anything else she wanted. This did not spoil her though, she grew up to be a very passionate, witty, enthusiastic, intelligent, warm, loving, giving individual. She was quick with her wit and had an infectious laugh.
Jayne met Carol A. Reinard, her future wife, In Fresno, California while on a rafting trip down the Kings River. Carol always said she saved Jayne’s life when she fell out of a rubber inner tube. It was love at first sight for Jayne, but Carol needed some convincing. Jayne won her over with her endearing, persistent ways and they were together 28 years. Throughout those years they had many adventures which took them to many places in North America and the Caribbean. This last year, Jayne was able to visit her families in Ohio and Nevada and complete her bucket list of places she wanted to visit. Most had water surrounding them for she loved the “healing waters” of the oceans.
Jaynes worked in management in various companies. She was a natural leader, not shying away from any responsibilities always putting other’s needs before her own. She was a role model to all of those who worked around her. Trying to be a good example, she would not ask an employee to do something she wouldn’t. She cultivated many friendships which have lasted throughout the years. No matter who she managed, they considered her a friend and respected her for genuine concern for them in the workplace. She attracted people to her no matter their background, belief, color or sexual preference. This admiration grew from the way she treated her employees, never demeaning or disrespectful. Jayne had an ability to know a person based on a mere glimpse. Then there was the ability to develop rapport with everyone she met. Her secret was she was able to make people feel comfortable no matter the situation.
Her passion for dogs brought her to create One Lucky Pup Dog Daycare and Boarding her dream. It was there where she developed a circle of friends whom she loved and cherished, because of course, they loved dogs. People knew their pet would be well taken care of with Jayne and her crew. After 9 years, when her cancer got to be to much, she sold her dream with a reluctant heart.
Hepatic Cellular Carcinoma took over her life in 2015, being the person, she was, she did not want anyone knowing she was “sick”. Sickness to her meant weak and vulnerable. After many procedures to kill the cancer, the cancer went into remission, but not before creating liver damage. Her liver continued to fail over the next 3 years. Amazingly she remained cheerful throughout, always hopeful for a turnaround and finding the lighter side in life. Everyday, until the end she laughed and made her friends laugh with her. Her hospice nurse said she loved to visit Jayne because she made her laugh.
She is survived by her wife Carol A Reinard, her sisters Debbie Murray of Las Vegas, Nevada and Charlotte Schroeder of Columbus, Ohio, her brothers Mark Schrader of North Miami, FL, John Schrader of Columbus, OH, James Schrader from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and David Holschlag of Bristol, CT.
There will be a Celebration of Life at the Holy Covenant United Church of Christ (3501 West W.T. Harris Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28269) at 3:00 pm on Sunday November 18, 2018.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to your favorite local dog rescue.

Sometimes there are no words that can really express the pain that we feel. It is then we are reminded that our Heavenly Father hears the cries of our heart and comforts us. Romans 8:26; 2 Corinthians 1:2, 3. Extending our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers over the loss of Jayne.
Debbie Ledet says
We bid on a One Lucky Pup weekend package at HRC…even though we didn’t have a dog…but knew a new pup was in our future. It was the best money ever spent for our dogs!
We became life customers of One Lucky Pup just because of Jayne. She was the first person we met when we walked in the door and our dogs loved her!!! They would not even tell us goodbye when we pulled in the parking lot. Jayne and her great team kept us updated with the cutest pictures online everyday. We knew how well they were cared for and they absouotely loved being there!!
It has been a long struggle – something no one should have to endure. We wish you both peace.
Love,
The Ledets

Jayne was a remarkable example of a human being. She had a warm heart, a beautiful smile, a great laugh, and a genuine compassion for the dogs in her care. I admired her grit showing up to work while so very I’ll & fighting the cancer on her terms. I’m glad she made the tough choice at the end to take time to do some bucket list items with Carol. Though we are heartbroken, she is free of pain now & amongst her favorite 4-legged companions that will give her a slobbering kiss of a heavenly welcome I’m sure. Wishing all those who loved her peace & comfort.

Goodbye Jayne
Death brought a tap on my shoulder
“She is gone, you won’t see her again.”
I am forced to remember a friend I held tender, until hurt brought it all to an end.
I am not so smart after all
I face alone yet another new fall
As leaves drop around me I relive the memory
Without saying goodbye, we let go.
Age is a beast with no heart
Time tears life’s pages apart
And hurt is lost in memory
But a soul that stood beside me
Without saying goodbye, has gone.
So I sleep, and arise each day
And I’m blessed with my memory of Jayne
I will see her again
I will laugh at my friend
And this time it wont come to an end.
Nancy Schulz says
My mother, Nancy Schulz wanted me to leave a message. She does not have a cell phone or the internet. This is her message.
The bright light that was Jayne, is still here. She will not be forgotten. My heart aches for Carol in her loss.
Laurie Dye says
To carol,
28 years together is a tribute in itself to Jayne and to you.
After all of this is over and you have to bare the silence of Jayne’s laughter, my wish for you is contentment in the memory of her. I believe her soul is alive and well. No longer in pain or the fear of the unknown. She will always be warm and comfortable in your heart.
Take care my dear, and enjoy every moment life gives you.
Laurie

To be a friend to Jayne was a true pleasure in my heart. My furry best friend loved One Lucky Pup and I immediately felt the warmth & passion Jayne had for what she did. I send all my love to her family & friends as the beautiful soul has been given to heaven. Much love and respect always from Rocky & I.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, “there, she is gone.” Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me – not in her. And just at the moment when someone says, ” there, she is gone.” There are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!” And that is dying…

RIP Jayne. You were truly one in a million. The Jacobs Family. Charlotte and Coach

We moved next door to Jayne and Carol in 2013 and we could not have asked for better neighbors. They were always helping us and when we started taking Jazz to one lucky pup – it made a huge difference in jazz and in our lives. Jayne will be missed. She always had a smile and kind word.

I am recalling memories of Jayne and Carol in Fresno where I met them. I knew Carol before she met Jayne and after they met I remember knowing they were meant to be together. All of the Fresno gang knew they were meant for each other.
Jayne’s smile and laugh were truly unforgettable and genuinely welcoming. You will be remembered Jayne.
Carol, may the love of friends and family hold you close. I am here and I will stay tuned in my friend.

Lynn McLean says
Carol, and Jayne’s family and friends,
I am so very sorry for the loss of ur beloved Jayne. I met her almost 25 years ago when she was my supervisor. I liked and respected her immediately. I met Carol too, and loved them both. Jayne could crack a funny line any time. She was one of the most decent people I have ever met. Although I hadn’t seen Jayne for years, I recognized her photo. I’m sending a big hug to Carol and to Jayne’s family
🙏🏻❤️🌹
