Jayne Smith

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, cousin, and friend. Known for her honesty, strength, and unwavering love, she touched every life she encountered.

She took great pride in her years working for Vassilaros Coffee, where she formed lasting friendships and poured her dedication into every day.

Above all, she cherished her family, and no one more dearly than her grandson Henry. Her love was steady, fierce, and unconditional. She was a straight shooter—someone who told the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not—and we loved her all the more for it. Her wisdom, humor, and loyal heart will be profoundly missed.

Her memory will live on in the stories we share, the laughter she sparked, and the love she gave so freely.

A funeral service will be held at Riverside-Nassau North Chapels, located at 55 North Station Plaza, Great Neck, NY 11021, on November 30, 2025, from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm.

The committal service will follow at Beth David Cemetery, situated at 300 Elmont Rd, Elmont, NY 11003, on the same day from 2:15 pm to 2:45 pm.
