She was a devoted fan of the Cleveland Indians/Guardians. Saturdays were always spent at Painesville Speedway with her mom, Cheering on the stock car races, a tradition she deeply cherished. Her almost daily coffee visits with her sister and many friends was a treasured ritual of love and laughter. Above all, Jax’s ultimate joy came in the time spent with her beloved children and grandchildren. Those moments will forever be cherished in their hearts.
