It is with deep sadness and great heartache that we must announce that our matriarch, Lelia Jane Baird of Ivydale, formerly of Grantsville, met Jesus and her loved ones after a long illness. She passed peacefully surrounded with great love on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 4:32 pm. Jane took her last breath without suffering and entered into the arms of her Heavenly Father.
Jane is preceded in death by her father and mother, Russell and Mary Stump, her brother Jim Stump and the father of her daughters, Blaine Maze.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 31 years, Don E. Baird of Ivydale, WV, her sweet little princess, Peppi, her daughters Patricia Elaine Maze Hedges of Wallback, WV and Kathryn Ann Maze Kaufman of Marietta, OH.

As a family, we would like to recognize and thank her caregivers Helen and Mary along with her Hospice Nurses. They have all given her the absolute best care and made her days so much brighter. We can all attest that Jane Baird has a great love for her entire family and all of those who have been a part of her life. She will forever be in our hearts and etched in our memory as we all continue this life, until we meet again.
