Jayne Elizabeth Gubelman

We are broken-hearted to announce that Jayne Elizabeth Gubelman, age 64, passed away Tuesday, November 1st, 2022—peacefully in her home, surrounded by family. Jayne is survived by her husband, Steve Gubelman; her son, Stephen Gubelman and future daughter-in-law, Patricia Parajon; her daughter, Laura Seifter and son-in-law, Bobby Seifter; her granddaughters, Libby and Harper Seifter; as well as her five sisters, six nieces, three nephews, and three great-nephews. Jayne was born and raised in Massapequa, New York. While attending Massapequa High School, she played tennis and discovered her passion for photography. There, she also fell in love with her husband, Steve, at age 16. After graduating from Farmingdale University, she worked as a paralegal for one of the top attorneys on Long Island. After she and Steve married in 1981, her son Stephen was born. Jayne took on the role she cherished most, that of a stay-at-home mom. Jayne and Steve moved to Atlanta in 1986, where their daughter Laura was born. In addition to her favorite job as wife and mother, Jayne held various positions in marketing and administration, including the travel industry and preschool administration. She and Steve founded their own business PFM (Professional Foodservice Marketing), and Jayne was the backbone and foundation of every decision made for this very successful business. For decades Jayne was incredibly involved in her children’s lives—from leading the Parent Teacher Association to being Team Mom for her children’s many athletic activities and more. Jayne’s passions included gardening, yoga, cooking, reading, photography, and interior design, and she was incredibly gifted in those areas. She used her talents to create beauty and generously serve others. She designed comfortable and beautiful spaces—both her family home and lake house—and constantly shared them with open arms and a hospitable heart. Jayne lived to make sure people were fed and that they knew there was always a place for them at her table. She delighted in gifting photography sessions to family and friends—whether it was newborns, newly engaged couples, graduates, or life’s other special moments. Services will be held at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Marietta, Georgia, on November 11th at 11 a.m. with reception to follow at the church. All who love Jayne are welcome to gather at the Gubelman’s home that evening from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
