Born Regina Gaye Layson on September 19, 1959, to Maurine (Henderson) and Arthur Layson, Regina Gaye Jett passed away on June 19, 2025, at the age of 65 in her hometown of Toledo, Ohio.

Regina was a woman of deep faith and quiet strength. She lived with conviction, stood firm in her beliefs, and cared deeply for her family. Her love was steady, her values unwavering, and she always showed up for the people who mattered most to her.

She is survived by her daughter, Tiffany Simmons and her son Justin Jett, as well as the grandchildren who lit up her world; Steffanye Hicks, Treazure, Dezmond, Jazmyn, and La'Lyn Jett, whom she affectionately called "Her 5 Jetts". She is also survived by her sister Andrea (Nathaniel) Jackson and her brothers Aaron Layson Sr. and Timothy (Sharon) Layson, along with a host of nieces and nephews; and her cherished fur baby, Coco, who brought her daily comfort and companionship.

Regina shared a lifelong bond with her dear friend Mary "cookie" Palacios, who, along with her children and grandchildren, became extended family. Their love and support brought comfort, laughter, and strength through every season.

Regina's life was anchored by her unshakable relationship with God. Her faith guided her every step and gave her strength through life's many turns. In her later years, Regina worked at Lott Industries and enjoyed creating jewelry as a way to express her creativity. She also loved being outdoors, especially in her yard, which brought her a sense of peace.

She will be remembered for her resilience, her deep care for family and the quiet ways she gave of herself to those she loved.
